 Mobile home sewage plumbing
Author: SammieBeth66 (ME)

I am trying to redo the sewage line in my mobile home where the mover cut it off. I know the slope had to be about 1/4 inch every foot. But are there any special choices of errors other than that. Because I was told if I do it myself I have to have it inspected after and I want to make sure I'm doing this right. Is going to hire a plumber but they're booked out weeks and I'm any to have a baby so I need to get this done. Thanks

no sharp bends.
support the pipe well.
install a cleanout close to the home in an accessable location.

Packy has given some good points. Our code requires PVC to be supported every 48". You'll need to use long sweep 90's. Be sure to use a cleaner + glue on your joints. You may have to fill the system with water for the inspection and you don't want to have to cut out any fittings due to a poor glue joint.

I hate when that happens. I hope you are holding the movers responsible for the damage. Follow the advice given and protection is most important to suspend and block the pvc sewer line.

Best Wishes
