I have been in my house for 5 yrs now and have gone through 3 of these boards. They burn out in the same spot each time, I have attached a picture. Any ideas what is causing this short in the the board?

The question still stands If you were me and had limited plumbing knowlwedge would you: The pipe is cast iron where visable and is 50 yrs old. I have 4 ft currently exposed which does slope at least the minimum 1/8" per ft. I have been in the house for 3 yrs and have had no drainage...

The goop in the pipe was black so it was difficult to determine exactly what it was. The only reason I am leaning toward tearing up the concrete and replacing the pipe is that I am finishing the basement and will be putting down flooring over the slab. I know I would regret if I had to...

I didn't get a DVD. I viewed on the screen while the guy was here. The RR guy said the line was good(no roots etc.) other than the area where the water was collecting. He said that if water is collecting then other stuff could collect and cause future problems.

I haven't had any backup problems in any of my drain lines. I am adding a 1/2 bath in my basement and after cutting into the horizontal Cast Iron Drain line under my basement slab I noticed a bunch of goop so I figured while I have direct access I should have it cleaned out. I had Roto Rooter...

Can I switch the 3"x2" wye just above the 3" 90 with a 3"x2 tee? I am having an issue with floor clearance and the tee would make my life a lot easier.

OK. I had some time today so I have laid out the pipes. Please take a look and let me know what I have done wrong. The toilet drain is 3" PVC and the lav drain is 2". The vent out the top of the lav tee will be 2". Thanks in advance for any help.

The toilet can be but does not have to be directly over the 4" drain pipe. I will do whatever is more efficient.

I am going to be fraiming the wet wall in front of the pipes coming out of the wall and the vertical main drain line. I will then have a gap behind that new wall in which I am hoping to run the vent pipe.

Just got home. Thought it would be a good idea to upload real pictures rather than my terrible drawings.

Hello all, This is my first post on the site, hopefully I am as clear and thorough as I need to be. I am adding a basement 1/2 bath to my 1945 split level in Stratford, CT. I have seen a couple posts on here of basically the same thing in which guys post pics of their pipe layout and the...
