Water coming up drain in basement?
When there is a backup in the various city or your local drainage system the lowest point in your home may have the drains fill up or overflow. If you live in an area that has this problem on a regular basis there is a temporary fix, that can help you avoid a partially flooded basement. If your home has one floor drain, try this: Uncover the drain and check the size of the pipe... get a length of PVC pipe with the outside dimension the same as the inside dimension of the floor drain pipe. (the new PVC pipe should be 3 feet or more) place this pipe in the drain, standing vertically, use vinyl tape to taper the bottom of the new pipe to assure that the pipe is tight in the floor drain. Doing this may seem a little strange but this drain modification will now allow you an additional few feet of insulation between a dry vs. a wet basement. If you have more than one drain, then do the same to both.

Washing machines pump out a large volume of water and todays standards require a 2 inch drain pipe. Bathtubs generally have a one and one half inch drain.

Same 11/2 venting can be used.
What happens to the water in the bottom drain pipe after winterizing an in-ground pool?
During prper winterization, the water in the bottom drain is usually "blown" out with compressed air. How this happens, is that a pipe with a schrader valve (the same type of valve on a ture intertube) is inserted into a pipe that is threaded into the pipe below the skimmer (with the leaf basket removed) An air compressor is then used to fill the tube with air. The air forces the water out of the entire pipe. Bubbles will come up from the drain when all of the water has been blown out of the pipe. The pressure of the air being in the pipe keeps the water from flowing back into the pipe. Hope this answers your question.
What should you do if your shower gurgles when the toilet is flushed and the toilet doesn't always work and you also get a drain pipe leak in your basement when too much water is used at the same time?

How does the garbage disposal connect to the dishwasher in a kitchen plumbing system?
In a kitchen plumbing system, the garbage disposal and dishwasher are typically connected through a shared drain pipe. The dishwasher drains into the garbage disposal, which then sends the wastewater through the same pipe that leads to the main sewer line. This setup allows both appliances to efficiently dispose of food waste and water.
How do you fix PVC bathroom sink pipe under trailer?
The same as any other PVC drain. Trailers have a plastic or fabric covering underneath. Cut this at the drain and repair the pipe. Duct tape the cut in the fabric or staple a section of cheap blue tarp over that section.
The bathtub we have will fit perfectly except the drain hole is on the left and the pipe is on the right. What do you use to install a bathtub with a drain hole at the opposite end of the drain pipe?
If the floor is wood, cut a notch in the floor and joist to run the drain to the other end and connect it to the existing pipe. The supply lines are usually on the same end as the drain so this will be a little odd. They could be routed around the tub below the edge to get them to the other end. Another thing to consider, you will have to be able to reach the end of the tub once it is in place to connect the drain. Is there access through a hole or is the underneath open to a basement or crawlspace? If the left hand side is an exterior wall or the bath is on the second floor, there is no easy way to access it.
