    The only problem with this is that any defect in the routing of the original pipe, e.g. a “belly” or flat/reverse grade, will be replicated in the new pipe.

    • @jsncrso
      @jsncrso ปีที่แล้ว +8

      It will pass over and make up for small deviations just fine, but you are correct in that it won't correct a grade issue. This is simply to replace corroded cast iron pipes in situ

      Follows the old pipe, but also the plastic won't have anything for particles to hang up on inside, so that won't create a clog, no joints means plants can't get roots into it, so no clog from that, and even if it had flat spots of grade, water will seek it's own level so everytime the toilet flushes you get a gallon and a half slug of water to push clingers through.
      Just don't dump grease/oil/fat down your kitchen sink. But people shouldn't do that anyways.

      @tywebbgolfenthusiast8950 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Another way to look at it is that the old pipe presumably had a slope that was correct from the house to the main and was probably pretty close to straight. That cable is going to pull in a straight line, so any minor deviations will be straightened. Additionally, the continuous plastic will last forever and being continuous, tree roots can’t get in. But the previous poster was right, digging makes the plumber a whole lot more money.
