SEWER & DRAIN CLEANING

If you are making a choice about the size of pipes you are putting in, be generous with the pipe diameter. Keep the pipe diameter as large as is practical and affordable. By being more generous with the diameter, you have added assurance that the fluid within will likely fill no more than half the pipe – this will allow air to freely circulate above the water flow. You can put in a pipe with too-generous a pipe diameter, it will dangerously slow the water down (there is a 2 ft. per second rule that stops solids from coming out of suspension). This is not a problem in residential housing, because pipe diameters are kept at 4 in. and under and slopes are also regulated.
Common Sense Rules
When it comes to drain lines, there are a multitude of little rules to follow. You may or may not have to get a permit (and pay a fee) to do a renovation. If you are new to the game, it's a good idea to prepare detailed drawings of your plans, perhaps including a photo or two. If the situation is unusual in some way, you might ask the inspector to come out and take a look. The inspector will not tell you how to do the job but may tell you what he or she will be looking for in an inspection. Unless you are a master plumber, it rarely pays to argue with the inspector. If you disagree, do it politely and have a solid, logical reason. If you plan to install an air-admittance valve for a vent, be sure to ask first. Even though they work and even though most codes allow them, your specific inspector may not like them, and inspectors have been known to interpret the codes—so knowing their likes and dislikes can only benefit you.
The most important rule is to install pipes with a downhill slope. Look to the codes to determine what the minimum gradation of the slope should be. There’s no sense in making this up when there are established codes, which the inspector will expect you to follow. Besides, lines with a minimal slope have a habit of clogging. A proper slope keeps fluids running at a "scouring velocity,” which helps keep the plumbing clean. The scouring velocity also keep solids in suspension, so they don't settle. When the velocity is too low, either from inadequate slope or from tremendously oversize pipes, solids tend to drop out of the water and settle to the bottom of the pipe, which can result in stoppages. Once solids have stopped moving, a greater velocity is required to get them moving again. A true scouring velocity should, then, be higher than the velocity initially used to transport solids. The bottom line is: Slope your pipes. And, for the most part, you do not need to worry about excessive sloping. There is no code maximum on slope. Despite what you may have heard, fast-moving water does not leave solids behind. (It is slow-moving water that can lead to that problem).
