Sewer Lines in Bathroom Installation

Video Transcript

"Ok. We're outside the house now. We're going to talk about where we tie these to the existing sewer line. And, you remember that we had Arizona Blue State come out and mark the ground on the street to give us an idea of where this sewer line is. Where it ties into the main line. And, when they make a mark in the street and they tell you where you sewer line is that's within twenty-four inches of either side of their mark. That's why, well that's why this hole is so big. Because we didn't know exactly where the line was. And, you can see this is our main line down here. So, getting back to this is the pipe coming out of the new bathroom. This is our protective sleeve right here that the pipe runs through. We had a long sweep ninety that drop down to the level of the sewer pipe. These two items here, are clean outs. We have to have two clean outs. One going back into the house, this one here is going into the sewer line. And, that way if there's ever a clog somewhere the plumber can put his snake down and snake this way to see if the clog is in the main line. Or, he can come through this one and go back up into the house to see if he can find the clog that way. This is all ready. We've been final, the inspector approved this. So, we're at the point now where we're ready to backfill this hole. This green line that you see here is our gas line. It's a one inch gas line that comes off the main meter, which is in the alleyway. This green coating that you see over it, is a scotch coat. Which, helps protect the pipe from rotting. And, we discovered this pipe here when we were excavating to find the sewer pipe. And, it travels on up and into the house from here. So, this will all just get backfilled and then we're done with this part of the project."
