In this episode of Best of the Build Show, Matt teams up with Master Plumber Eric to tackle a real-world drain-line problem and break down the right way to fix misaligned PVC piping. Eric takes us on-site to a 1940s Minnesota basement renovation where an incorrect pitch, a poorly aligned offset, and an unnecessary banded coupling were creating drainage issues. With his trademark clarity, Eric walks through each step of the repair — from cutting out fittings and reclaiming a PVC hub with a specialty reaming tool, to re-establishing proper pitch and rebuilding the line with clean, code-compliant glue-ups. Whether you're a plumber, builder, inspector, or a homeowner who wants to understand PVC drain-waste-vent systems, this episode offers practical insights and pro-level tips you can put to work immediately. Don't miss Eric’s guidance on setting correct fall, choosing the right fittings, and avoiding common mistakes that show up at inspections.
