Hello. I just had my old cast iron drain system replaced with PVC. At the same time, I had the plumber rough-in for a bathroom in the basement.
I like the work he did and I believe the system looks good, and it passed inspection, but I am just looking for other opinions of his work.
Thank you,
Matt

One more thing to add: I posted these pictures because they are before the trench was backfilled to show the full pipe layout. The basement lav drain was cut at the line on the wall, a hanger was attached to the wall, and a 90 was used to bring the drain out from the wall and it was capped with a temporary cap.

Also, the 3" pipe for the basement toilet has been cut shorter and capped.

drains

Every plumber would have his own version of how he would have installed the system. That one appears to be operable and as long as the inspector had no problem with it, why do you seem to?

No problems...

Thanks for the replies.

HJ: I don't have any problems at all with the work. It's just that this is the first plumbing work I've had done on my house and it was pretty major. I understand that there are many different ways to accomplish the same plumbing job, I was just looking for opinions on how the layout turned out.

Thanks,

Matt

system

I would never critique another's work, unless it was blatantly incorrect. Some plumbers get in a groove and try to install every system the same way, which is not wrong, even if it might be inefficient.
