    Question about sewage line pitch

    Alright…. Yea I didn’t like it either. Plus practice makes you better. Project cost a little more but looks better. Updated pics below. Something that did help me line up the 22.5 rolling offsets… I took two 2x6 pieces of wood and put 2 screws at angles in each. That allows me to put a 22.5 on...

    Question about sewage line pitch

    What about that bend in pipe though? Is that ok? If it was something that could be seen, I’d re-do it. But since it’s buried, if it’s not an issue, I would prefer to leave as is. But want to make sure it won’t be an issue.

    Question about sewage line pitch

    I’m planning on using washed 3/4” round rock. It takes up a little more space than pea gravel so I use less and it won’t compact.

    Question about sewage line pitch

    Update. I got it done yesterday. I was able to rotate the inlet pipe up and now have a downward pitch from house to septic. I just need to put some gravel under the pipe. I piped from septic to a certain point, then piped from house to the point I stopped at from septic and connected the two...

    Sorry, I don’t know why it replayed twice or how to delete one of the double reply’s.

    Question about sewage line pitch

    Thank you. I actually remeasured the elevation of the pvc stub out of house and where I’m going to cut it (closer to foundation) is about 4’8”. The pvc sub out of house angles down at a decent angle once it leaves foundation wall. When I measured the elevation in drawing, I didn’t have pipe dug...

    Question about sewage line pitch

    the pipe appears to be sealed in the septic with, what appears to be, spray foam. I don’t know if it’s sealed better on the inside and they used spray foam as a barrier or if the whole seal is spray foam. Seems like an iffy seal if that’s the case or is that an approved way to seal the inlet...

    Question about sewage line pitch

    Hello all! So I have a house with a septic. The sewage line going out to tank comes out of house as PVC, then transitions to clay (2’ sections for about 12’), then back to PVC. We had water that smelled like sewage in our basement. After I put a camera down pipe, I noticed the clay section is...

    Septic Tank inlet question

    Hello All! In my septic, I have 2 lines that come in. One has a baffle and the other doesn't. The one that doesn't always backs up because, I believe, it doesn't have a baffle. Because the pipes are so close in the septic, I can't add a baffle to the line that's missing a baffle. Anyways, the...

    Propane appliances make weird noise / flame when started.

    LP guy came over and saw first hand what’s going on. Said it wasn’t normal what it was doing. Tested 2nd stage reg and had a static pressure of 10” WC. With everything running it dropped a little (about 9.5”). Tested system for leak and found none. He’s stumped as what’s it could be. He’s going...

    Propane appliances make weird noise / flame when started.

    They LP guy (over the phone) thinks it’s the second stage reg at house since it’s only happening to appliances that are serviced by that one regulator (I have the different outbuildings serviced by 3 separate 2nd stage regulators... only the appliances on that specific regulator are the ones...

    Propane appliances make weird noise / flame when started.

    First, I'm going to be calling the LP company about this issue tomorrow... It's just something that's bothering me and I'm kind of curious to what you guys think it could be. My home's gas supply is LP and I'm observing the following problems with at least two of my appliances (fireplace and...

    (Hopefully) simple storm window question

    My Andersen windows suck and they leak a lot of air. I was looking at installing low e storm windows. I also want to install them to prevent snow from blowing through the screen and getting a "snow drift" between window glass and screen. Anyways I'm trying to read on how to measure and install...
