Digging For Under Slab Plumbing
Вставка

- Let me show you how I dug the ditches for the under-slab plumbing on this warehouse.
First, I dug down on the outside of the building and found the sewer sleeve and the water sleeve.
Then I measured and transferred their locations to the inside of the building.
Next, I dug a ditch for the sewer line from the front of the building back to the utility room.
This main line will connect a floor drain, a toilet, a bathroom sink, and a mop sink.
I used a mini excavator with a one-foot bucket to dig.
I put the dirt into the bucket of the CAT- this way I’m not mixing dirt into the clean stone.
It wasn’t long before I found the sewer sleeve in the foundation wall.
If you’re scared to get your hands dirty- construction work is not for you.
I like to tape a 1” block to the end of my four-foot level- this gives me a ¼” per foot fall, and I can check the ditch as I go.
Here you can see what the ditch looks like from the sleeve all the way back to the utility room.
Now I need to dig a ditch for my water line- we’ll bring it up through the floor here at this office wall.
The water line sleeve is 3 feet down under the footing, so it won’t freeze in the wintertime.
Inside the building, the water line will be only 8” under the slab.
We’ll sleeve it in conduit in case we ever need to replace it.
Now for the hardest part of all, I just need my plumbers to show up. @hausplans

"Now for the hardest part of all, I just need my plumbers to show up" was hilarious. Love your videos!
Thanks for watching👍😂
Very relatable 😅
@@hausplanswhy didn't this plumbing get put in after the footings and BEFORE the gravel? There has to be a reason?
As a plumber I can confirm 😂
😂👍 come on over
Probably my favourite youtube channel lately.
Wow, I appreciate that😊
The taping the 1 inch block to your level is a great tip
the block on taped to the level is a great idea.
👍👍
I give you construction workers' mad props for the work you all do. But for me, I'm sticking with roll off and just hauling out the material for you guys, haha.
Thanks for the warning about dirty hands, was considering construction until you said that. 😂😂😂
We would always keep the bubble in the lines but favior the side with fall just barely put fall on it its rather amazing how lil fall a sewer needs to work
Lol ,good going with the 1 " block
I love your videos, all well explained, straight to the point, tips and jokes along the way! Just perfect! ❤ Id hire you to build my home ngl. 😂

Nice tip about the level.
If New Guy was worth anything, he could've excavated that trench for you.
Who do you think was running the skid steer?😂🦺🐶
Loving this channel
I have to dig up my concrete foundation to replace the sewer pipe that is cracked. Was hoping you had a video like that haha
As a plumber I can confirm we have more work than we can handle
I am over top, about the plumbers 😆
As A FL. GC, I endorse this video..,.
👍👍
“Hardest part of all”😂😂😂😂
Plumbers and Electricians never on time 😂
3’ down for water lines would be awesome. We have to go 7-8 deep up here!
🥶
This is amazing
👍👍
Holy shit a heavy equipment operator that actually makes a proper trench for the shit pipes and I aint gotta do it myself what kind of bakcwards land is this lol
I’m not gonna lie the whole that he took the tube out of looks like Butterfinger juice and Butterfingers
Gloves✨✨✨
dude teach me everything you know
For 3”-6” drain pipe you only need 1/8” or 0.125” of slope per foot. So you should have taped a 1/2” block to the level not a 1” block.
• A 1/4” per foot slope is for 2.5” pipe or less.
•By sloping too much the water will run past the solids and not carry them the full distance risking a clog.
Code allows for 1/8” to 1/4” per foot for 3” pipe
Rubber gloves homie nobody’s gonna judge 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Boy, that's some thin ass pipe. Who would put that shit in a slab? Better what Inspector would allow that?
That piece of thin wall pipe is only a sleeve that the main pipe the schedule 40 will go through
@@hausplans OK. That makes more sense.
Gonna cost a dragon hoard
You fill that trench completely with gravel so there is no settle correct? Asking because I need to trench under where concrete goes in my shop!
Yes
Always good to protect your most important tools from excessive damage, wear gloves. So many times I've ripped a the tips on my fingers digging out holes like that
Eighth of an inch per foot in New York now
👍👍
I’m rather curious do you guys just have shit pipes just casually in the ground for future house development or was that from them originally making the foundation.
We put those sleeves in when we installed the foundation
Ummm on that size it’s supposed to be an 1/8” per foot
1/8 to 1/4
How you made that claim
DAY 4 OF ASKING FOR YOU TO MAKE A BIG HOT DOG AT THE JOB SITE
Is this per denim?
I’m building the building for myself to rent
I’m a plumber btw 😂
👍
U is the squatter
This don’t last 5 years I bet
It will last well over a 100
I’m not afraid of getting my hands dirty but ima not put my hands in a sewer line 🤢
I will get a lot of sh1t on my hands but not actual sh1t
There’s no sewer in that line yet, that was just mud water
@@hausplans then I’d be fine with it
Wrong wrong wrong!!!!!! And come back tomorrow and you’re still wrong!!!!! You’re a hard worker, but you’re wasting your energy??
This guys sounds like Joe Rogan, except with some actual talent.
