I would like to build a small washroom in my
basement and have a question about the drainage.
Where and at what slope should the pipe be,and
is there anything I should be aware of?
Thanking you in advance
Angelo.
Answer Hi Angelo, Not quite that simple. What I need to know is how many fixtures you wish to install. How this group will be vented. How do you plan to tie into the sewer main? And last, how much plumbing experience you have? BTW. The slope on drainage pipes runs between 1/4 and 1/8" to the foot. Get back to me with more infornation and we'll discuss farther. Regards, Tom
