Drainage Pipe Sept 22, 2012 5:25:49 GMT -5

Post by PurpleBlast on Sept 22, 2012 5:25:49 GMT -5

Need to run a new drain pipe about 130'-140' or so. Grade is too gradual to have deep bury depth. Maybe 12"-18" on top of the pipe. Close to the last 10'-15' or so will be under a rock driveway leading to my garage that gets occasionally driven on.
The current one is PVC at the house, then goes to abs/ads plastic, then back to PVC again. Although the black 4" pipe appears to be stronger to crushing, it's $37 for 10' where as dvw only 4" PVC is $13 for 10'

The failure points were at the driveway where it crushed and a coupling where they go from white to black pipe
Kind of wanting to get out of this house in the near future so dont want to spend a fortune but want to do a good enough job to last and don't want to **** any future owners

I fear the 18" is about all I could do. Oh I forgot. The washing machine drains to it too. That's actually the reason I looked into the drain in the first place. The sink and sump pump still worked but the washing machine started backing up and spewing water when draining on large loads
