Sewer line repair is a very good way to improve your house value and it’s relatively inexpensive as well. However, before you decide to do any repairs in your home, you should always find out how the water drains around your home. You may even want to replace the sewer line from the house to main if the house foundation is weak.
Water drains right off of the house to the main house and then drains back down the main water drain back to the street unless there is a concrete basement wall around the outside of the house. The house foundation is where the majority of the flow of water will take place. In this article, we will discuss how to replace the sewer line from the house to main. This can be quite difficult in some areas where a concrete wall forms around the house, but in many cases, it is possible to change the sewer line from the house to main.
Preparations
Sewer line repair in most cases will involve digging a hole and removing the water and sewer lines. However, if the drainage problems are severe, it may require drilling holes in the ground and then connecting the line. You will also need to add a pressure washer and silicone sealant to the hole so that your house is protected from any future leaks.
You will need to carefully cut the new pipe to the exact length that you need. Your local phone book will usually have a “Drainage Map” that you can consult when cutting pipe. The map will show you where the water will end up and how far the water will have to travel.
Installing the New Pipe
Once you have found the section of the pipe that you need, you can start to cut the end off. You will need to first measure the area that you are planning to replace the water and sewer line from. Once you have done this, mark the location of the line and locate the spot where you are going to cut the pipe. You will need to cut a few inches from either side of the marked location and then you can screw the pipe into the pipe joint in the floor.
Once you have screwed the new pipe onto the pipe joint, you will need to make sure that the gutter is lined up with the water drain from the house. Then you can use the existing hole in the floor and connect the pipe in the same manner as you did before. Then you need to put a silicone sealant in the hole before you replace the water drain from the house to the house.
The new water and sewer line from the house to the water main drain can usually be connected to one of two places. One option is to use the asphalt shingle that is placed on top of the floor, or the other option is to screw the pipe into the concrete base. Whichever option you choose, you need to make sure that the new pipe is fully inserted into the base.
