Hey All, new to the forum, and hoping for a little advice.
I am DIY'ing a bathroom addition and I am in the process of stack testing my DWV piping. I placed a 10' section of pipe vertically, plugged all the openings with test plugs, and filled the whole thing up with the garden hose. No leaks were immediately apparent, but I placed tupperware bins under the joints overnight to detect any leaks that I may have missed. The inspector came by and signed off yesterday, but this morning, I found a very small (like maybe a teaspoon max) amount of water in two of the bins. When I joined the pipes, I primed the pipes with purple primer, but not the inside of the fittings (I realized my mistake after the fact). I also only put solvent weld on the pipe, and not the fittings. I really need to move forward and get the floors down so I can continue framing, and ripping it all out and doing over is going to be a pain. Just looking for some words of wisdom, to either reassure me that it's going to be fine or convince me to bite the bullet and redo the piping.
Thanks!
