Properly functioning drain pipes are essential to prevent water damage and maintain a building’s drainage system. During a recent Sewer project in Schaumburg, IL, the experienced technicians at 24/7 Services replaced aging copper drain piping above the ceiling with new PVC piping and identified additional repairs needed to correct improper drainage.
When our technicians arrived, the building’s maintenance team had already removed sections of ceiling drywall to expose the existing drain piping.
Our team inspected the accessible plumbing and cut out the exposed sections of old copper drain line. We then installed new PVC drain piping and added the necessary supports to secure the replacement piping.
PVC piping provides a durable, corrosion-resistant solution for drainage systems, helping maintain reliable performance over time.
During the project, our technicians addressed a section of back-pitched piping serving the building’s roof drainage system.
After the initial pipe replacement, further inspection revealed that we would need to replace about 12 additional feet of drain piping to achieve the proper downward slope.
Correct pipe pitch is essential for allowing water to flow through the drainage system. When pipes slope the wrong way, water can collect in the line, increasing the risk of backups, leaks, and water damage.
To properly correct the remaining drainage issue, the replacement piping will need to extend below the existing ceiling joists.
This will require constructing a soffit to accommodate and conceal the lowered drain pipe while maintaining the necessary slope.
Our technicians identified these additional requirements so we can complete the remaining work correctly and ensure the drainage system functions as intended.
