There is a pipe network behind the walls and under the floor of your home that drains all of the wastewater to the sewer system. It is important to grasp the difference between a sewer line and a drain line. The main sewer line is outside your house, and the drain lines are inside it.
Wherever water runs in your home, it flows down the drain. Your sinks, bathtubs and showers, as well as dishwashers and laundry machines, have drains that connect to pipes that carry wastewater to a vertical drainage pipe, sometimes called a soil pipe. From there, it is taken into the main sewer line. Proper drain line installation is crucial for safety and comfort in your house, as excess water can have a really destroying effect.
Before the project starts, consider the following:
The whole installation process includes:
Drain pipes may seem easy to install and tempt you to install them on your own. Despite its apparent simplicity, the overall construction is actually tricky and requires certain skills. What you might call “drain pipes” are actually three key parts joined together: the sink drain, which runs from the sink down to the bendy pipes; the bendy part of the drain pipes, called the trap because of the way it traps or rather contains sewer gasses; and the drain pipe itself, hidden inside the walls.
Hooking the sink to the drain system implies a sequence of steps:
Attaching a sink drain pipe to your plumbing system is a fairly complex project unless you are plumbing savvy and have the necessary skills.

Our licensed specialists do all work in accordance with the requirements of the Plumbing Code. We don’t cut corners and will always give you an honest opinion on what and how we think should be done!
A drainage system lives underground. It is composed of a mixture of pipe segments and joints. Underground drainage is commonly referred to as a sewer system because it is mainly used to transport sewage or wastewater directly to a sewage treatment plant. This system can also be used to divert rainwater into an absorption system or into a watercourse.
Most people don’t even realize that there are two types of drainage systems in their homes: one for wastewater and one for surface water.
Surface water drainage comprises rainwater and runoff from driveways, roofs, gutters, and pond overflows. This water can be safely returned to waterways without treatment. If it is not diverted away from your property, it can accumulate and undermine the foundation of your home.
Wastewater drainage flows water from bathrooms, toilets, kitchens and washing machines. Untreated wastewater should never be discharged into a waterway because there is an unacceptable risk you could contaminate nearby rivers and even drinking water, so it is extremely important to avoid this.
How to install underground drainage? The several-step process of installing an underground drainage system looks as follows:
If you have no preparation and have never done underground drainage work before, we strongly recommend that you call a professional drainage company, which will do the task for you.

We get that this kind of work can have a substantial impact on your budget, so we do our best to help you cut costs. One way we do this is to ensure that everything we offer comes at a fixed price, which is way cheaper than trying to install underground drainage pipes yourself. Choose our services as an experienced drainage company if you prefer to have the work done professionally!
A plumbing clog often affects a single sink, tub, shower or toilet, but if more than one fixture is clogged, the main drain line may need to be cleaned. A plumbing auger – also called a plumbing snake – is an effective tool to do this.
It is a flexible and thin auger that disperses clogs in your home’s drains. A plumber’s snake comes in handy when dealing with severe clogs that usually cannot be cleared on your own.
Step 1. Remove the cleaning plug. Find the plug located on a large drain pipe in places such as the basement, garage or near the foundation of the house. Remove the plug with an adjustable wrench. Wastewater can leak out, so stand back and be careful. If the drain line is vertical, place a bucket under the drain hole.
Step 2. Apply the snake. When using the auger, push the cable through until it reaches the obstruction. Turn the handle clockwise to plunge the tip into the clog. Twist, push and pull to break the cord and unblock the drain.
Work the snake in both directions of the drain line – back toward the house and out away from the house.
Remember, in the case of a clog, nowhere does it say that you have to remove it yourself with a tool of any kind. Drain snakes should only be operated by properly trained professionals, as they can cause injury and damage. If you feel more comfortable calling Delta Plumbers, we will be happy to come and help you out. After decades in the business, we know how to snake a main drain line professionally and can guarantee all of our services. With a full fleet of equipped trucks, certified plumbers and dedicated office staff, we continue to strive for quality every day!
