Brian Uhler of Pioneer Builders walks through installing a gravity-fed sanitary sewer on a new home. He starts with calling for utility locates and explains why marked lines still need careful digging, especially when the connection point sits across a ditch line in a homeowners' association. Near the house, he shows the cleanouts, sanitary tees, and tracer wire, along with a repair where the plumber's line crossed the downspout drainage. He covers testing the new pipe for leaks and how a conversation with the inspector, backed by municipal standard details, settled the question of a backwater valve. Stormwater management and an unvented crawl space come up as well.
