 Footing the bill
Author: Kris52 (OR)

Hey there gentlemen. So a quick question for reference. When I moved into my rental, the first few days there was black water(sewage) coming out of both tub drains. There was no repair to it except for using the plastic snake Home Depot sells which cleared the drain enough to have the water drain. This was 10 months ago. Now, there was a back up in one of the toilets and the sewage pipe wye joint and breather fitting from the sewage pipes came unglued and caused a huge spill. The initial breather joint was the "broke " one which was reused and reglued with something other than glue for solvent welding. We were told to use the common restroom i. The meantime. Well turns out that the wye joint had also came unglued and all the sewage spilled under the house. My question is, if there was sewage coming out of the tubs when we initially moved in, could the ract that nothing was done other than the little plastic snake i used, could that mean that there was already a blockage and eventually caused the pipe to become unglued? The glue that was on there looked like some kind of cement.amd is it normal to use zip ties to hang the pipe off of the floor? And could the zip ties cause the pipe to bow "belly"? Thanks fellas

Pipes should not become "unglued" if the joint was properly prepared and the proper solvent cement was used. Standard zip ties are not ok to suspend a drain pipe.
