New Sewer Line Installation

Key Steps and Considerations

1. Design and Planning
   
   • Conduct a site survey to determine the optimal route for the sewer line.
   • Calculate proper slope and capacity to maintain effective gravity flow and prevent backups.
   • Identify potential obstacles such as existing utilities, trees, and soil conditions.
   • Ensure compliance with local plumbing codes and commercial regulations.
2. Material Selection
   
   • PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride): Lightweight, cost-effective, corrosion-resistant, and widely used for residential and commercial sewer systems.
   • HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene): Flexible, durable, and suitable for long-term use, especially in areas prone to shifting soil.
   • Ductile Iron: Strong, long-lasting, and ideal for commercial or high-capacity sewer lines that require extra durability.
3. Trenching and Excavation
   
   • Carefully dig trenches along the planned sewer route with minimal disruption to the surrounding area.
   • Ensure trench depth and width are appropriate for the pipe size and slope requirements.
4. Pipe Installation
   
   • Lay pipes along the trench, maintaining a consistent slope for proper gravity flow.
   • Connect pipes securely using professional-grade fittings and jointing techniques.
   • Inspect alignment, slope, and connections before backfilling.
5. Testing and Inspection
   • Conduct pressure testing, leak tests, or camera inspections to ensure the sewer line functions correctly.
   • Verify compliance with local plumbing codes and standards.
6. Backfilling and Site Restoration
   
   • Carefully backfill trenches, compacting soil to prevent future settling.
   • Restore landscaping, pavement, or flooring affected by the installation process.
