July 28, 20188 yr Popular Post comment_155244 plumbing fix done. added two clean outs, replaced a pair of 90s with a pair of 45s. hoping for fewer blockages going forward. this is the drain line from the back patio to the pond (rainwater). but sometimes pine needles and dirt get into the pipes and block things up. then we get rising water just outside the back door. not good. $44 worth of parts and materials 10 cents worth of expertise $2 worth of labor. i'm not that smart, and i don't get paid much anymore. i did get a kiss from my wife. woot.

July 28, 20188 yr comment_155250 yes, i tested it before backfilling. no leaks detected, time to fill the hole up. first some pea gravel (it flows under the pipe nicely, supporting it), then the wet dirt back on top. it'll dry out over time. Report
