In this video, I, JENNIFER SUGINT am going to attempt to replace my cast iron sewer pipe by myself, with some tools from the @NoNonsenseKnowHow Garage. Watch along as I succeed or possibly crash and burn. Either way, it should be interesting!

Even seemingly simple stuff like cutting pipes needs a certain amount of technique to do efficiently, the next time you'll do it in less than 1/3rd of the time. The money you save from not hiring a contractor doesn't hurt either.

  • Future tip/s with PVC. When gluing fittings together give them a twist into place. This ensures there are no voids in the joint and spreads the adhesive more evenly. Also, after cutting PVC clean up the edges and chamfer the outside edge or (OD), this is so the adhesive is not swept off the wall of the fitting and reduces the build up of adhesive on the inside edge that could cause a blockage in the future. If that makes sense.

  • The short blade is best. In that situation you want to maintain some pressure between the metal "foot" of the saw near the back of the blade and the pipe so you can walk your cut around the pipe and the short blade helps each reciprocation not slam the blades tip in to the concrete wall which tends to bend and ruin the blade. Thick metal does not cut fast. The first cut that you abandoned would have been pinch free if you had changed cutting direction from the bottom upward toward the top. This would keep the blade on the side of the kerf which is opening due to the pipe bending under it's own weight between the supports while you are removing material it bends at the weakest point. You could also just add support directly under where you plan to cut downward first as downward cuts are easier and safer for most people.

  • I love your Can Do attitude. For the leak in the basement check outside and make sure the ground is graded away from that house and extend downspouts in that area if needed. Check outside in the lawn for a sewer vent if you do not have one consider adding a "cleanout" fitting at the end of the run before it goes through the wall.

  • Great job Jen, not a licensed plummer just a DIY guy. When your gluing joints they should be wet enough where you can rotate the pipe or fitting as you join the two together. The rotation doesn't have to be excessive just enough to allow the glue to push out any air that could be trapped in the joint, you will need to hold pressure on the joint to make sure the glue isn't trying to push the two pieces apart. Another trick when your doing a dry fit if the two pieces need to be rotated to a particular angle place a mark on both pieces, remove, glue then as you push the two together align the two marks and you should be back to the same location as you were during a dry fit. One more tip, always debur both edges of the pipe end, I use a cordless grinder or a flapper disk on a drill motor.

  • Nice work. Only a few suggestions. You should always chamfer the outside of your pvc pipe before gluing them into the fittings. This will prevent the glue from being pushed out. It also makes it easier to insert (no need for a hammer). When possible, once you set the pipe all the way into the fitting, rotate it a little to move the glue around, and then hold it there for about 5-10 seconds. It also seems like you created an "S-trap" at that sink drain. You may want to address that if you start noticing sewer smell coming out of your sink.
