I posted last fall asking for advice on doing this rough in myself. Well with other things going on I decided to hire it out here recently. Today the rough in was completed by a local company and I'm not happy with how things were done. Especially after spending so much time researching this and knowing exactly what I wanted done.
First, my main concern is how shallow the lines were buried(pics below). I think just 3"-4" below my slab is just too close..and outside the pipe to the septic is coming out at 4"-5" below grade. Won't this freeze and cause and ice blockage at below freezing temps? Are there nat'l codes concerning this? Also my stub-ups aren't perpendicular with my wall. I'm going to have to frame my wall slightly crooked to catch them all within the sill plate..They think its no big deal and told me to put my wall in straight and some of the drains would be touching my drywall but be okay..What?? I've never heard of such **** shouldn't I be entitled to straight on center pipes and buried an acceptable depth?.. The buried depth I noticed only after they left the site..Oh and they smashed my sheet metal wall when digging outside..told me they could hammer it out Haha haahaa..I'm not making this up..The good..I haven't paid nothing yet..This was a branch crew of the plumbing co so I gotta get the company head out here for this but I do want advice and opinions..Thanks
