5 Guidelines in Installing the Sewer Lines

1. 5 Guidelines in Installing the Sewer Lines

2. Sewer Lines Installation • The installation of sewer lines is considered a laborious task that requires plenty of time and a lot of work to do it. But, if you’re constructing a house, then the lines of your sewer are an integral part of the waste water system. • With this, there’s definitely a need for sewer lines installation, even if your waste water goes into the city sewage system or if you have a septic tank of your own.

3. In relation, this presentation offers some guidelines when doing the sewer lines installation.

4. Contact the Local Utility Firm • It is important to set some time to contact and talk to your local utility company to check the underground hazards of your property. • Do it before you put that shovel into the ground of your house. And even if you are just replacing the old ones, there is still a need to contact them for you to identify where things are located.

5. Map the Sewer Line Route and Layout the Pipes • Once the underground hazards were identified, next is to map out the sewer lines’ location. This will help you plan ahead on what materials you’ll need, and not only for you to see where it will go. There’s a high probability that you will need the tools like T-sections or elbows in your sewage system depending on the pipes’ route. • Next is to lay out the pipes you’ll use in accordance with your plan before settling for a permanent connection. After you figure it out, you can cement the pipes together.

6. Keep Proper Grade • The septic systems’ best buddy is the gravity. When the ground’s grade is sloping downward, there’s no need for you to have any type of extra help for the sewage to flow to the tank. • If the land is level, the waste will only naturally travel towards the direction of the tank and will not sit still in the pipes if you dig your trench for the sewer lines at a gradual slope.

7. Traps Installation • In sewage lines, traps are important for you to make future repairs or remove the clogs. To illustrate, the traps referred here are small pieces of pipe that have a screw on its top area. • They are set at various places together with the sewer line for you, or a plumber, can gain access to the pipes to flush them out or run a snake through them.

8. Run Lines in Unused Areas • If the line of your sewage system goes through an area in your landscape that is heavily trafficked, this can mean issues or problems down the road. • Even though a straight line is shorter, there’s a possible need for some elbow installation to get the pipes to circumnavigate a play area, patio or garden. This is particularly important if you have pipes that are cracked or ruptured.

9. Check this Out! • To conclude, contacting the local utility company in your area is necessary before doing any related sewage system installation. • This will help you plan ahead properly.
