For rebar 1- order your horizontal and vertical lengths with 30-inch bends on one end so you can just tie it instead of bending them all yourself. Even if you have a bender, it's a ton of work to bend it yourself. The rebar company has hydraulic benders/ cutters that make it easy, and it doesn't cost that much more to have them do it. Plan out each piece and order it that way. It will save you a ton of time and a backache. You need a 2' overlap. Check your local codes, but that's what it is in Utah. 2- See if you can rent an automatic wire tie-er. It is a battery-operated tying device that does it all for you. Just load wire and pull the trigger. It will save you days in wire tying time. And blisters, too😊. I think Awesome Framers did a video on these. Love your videos! Thanks for having us along on your adventure.

Wire tiergun is a good idea. I doubt you have much more than three bars in the bottom third of the beams, and verticals for block work… you are probably using 6x mesh on top and a few bars at openings so your rod busting should be super quick. Suggest yellow ‘keel’ (crayon) to mark cross members and verticals (don’t use spray paint as it’s typically not allowed per code). Don’t put a rebar stake in and tie off to it to keep the steel from moving as moisture will follow the stake to you bottom rebar and rust it out (also typically against code). 2” sand chairs can help hold the steel up in place for the pour. If your fill hit the right proctor scale then you shouldn’t have settling on the pipes and the sleeves will safe guard them anyway. Your area may require termite spray before moisture barrier. Also wondering if you’re adding ground insulation. A five gallon bucket w holes in the bottom and a small sump pump in it will help keep the footings dry…

One trick we utilise on any build that has the risk of concrete heave is to create a small concrete pad either side of the pipes, then you overlay with a concrete lintel or a concrete block, infill around the pipe, pads and lintel with suitable ground aggregate and then the lintel is encased in your concrete foundation utilising the rebar to tie the lintel to the pads to the overall foundation of the garage. This allows for the waste, water or any other fragile pipes to be effectively free floating with the confines of the pads, lintel etc. Thus any movement of the garage pad has no impact on the buried pipes. Also have you considered any risk from tree roots for your waste and water piping with possible future ingress (as you have loosened the soil the roots may have an easy access to grow and puncture into your pipes? Again we utilise some of the concrete left over to form a barrier outside your foundation that will divert tree root growth away from your build. Hope these small tips help.

Joe, I am a retired, pretty traditional plumber- Cast iron is what I think of for drain, waste and vent piping. As much as all that, PVC has shown it is a very suitable material for the purpose. Just getting any of it deep enough to be all in the sand of the pad will give it plenty of protection. PVC's greatest advantage, to me, is how well sealed a properly made joint is- if it has good coverage and then a short set up time before it is disturbed, you will literally have to break something for the water, and effluent to start leaking out and attracting the roots. Cast iron coupling systems have always had a problem that over time, the natural grow/shrink seasonal effect is to loosen or disconnect the surface coupling and leak- attracting roots from near and far. The couplers used on this pipe was awesome- I didn't get to see those twenty years ago- but I suspect the rubber will nearly fuse with the PVC over time. And it is outside the slab, where it would be simple to repair.

@@fredericrike5974 - Properly installed PVC waste lines are practically bullet proof. The key words are "properly installed". A friend of mine lives in a 30 year old subdivision in Gilbert AZ where schedule 20 PVC was used for all the waste and vent piping. She had to have her lines cleaned about every other year, so she finally got a plumber to run a camera. Apparently, cleanouts weren't required in Gilbert when the house was built, so they had to go down a vent. They found two spots with root intrusions. The first was where a branch to a vanity wyed into the main, a full eight feet under the slab from the nearest exterior wall. Someone forgot to glue a joint. The second was at a crushed and cracked section about eight feet outside of the slab where a large mesquite blew over in a windstorm. Schedule 40 would have likely survived that fall.

Regarding reinforcement / rebar To keep the rebar at the right height when pouring the concrete use rebar wire dobies or rebar chairs. I have also heard it could be pulled up to the right depth on concrete pour day, but why add additional stress on concrete pour day. Rebar dobies are a piece of wire in a precast concrete block that are used to support and hold steel reinforcement bars (rebar) in place when pouring concrete. Rebar chairs are small, plastic or metal devices that accomplish the same goal. They are placed on top of the compressed gravel or soil and under the rebar in order to keep the rebar elevated and spaced properly. This allows the concrete to flow freely around the rebar, creating a strong bond between the rebar and the concrete. To hold the lattice together until the concrete is cured, it is necessary to tie the rebar at the intersections. To tie rebar, a wire or rebar tie is wrapped around the rebar and twisted to hold it in place. Rebar gangs will use a rebar tie wire spool and simple wire twister. If tying rebar is not your everyday job, there are precut wires with loops on the end and wire twisters that just require pulling. I personally like the $25 or so automatic rebar tie and the pre-cut wire ties more than the $8 wire twister and the pre-cut wire ties. However, either will do the job. Rebar ends could impale a worker. To prevent this there are rebar safety caps. Rebar safety caps are small plastic or rubber caps that are placed on the top of steel reinforcement bars (rebar). Without rebar safety caps, the exposed ends of the rebar can be sharp, and can cause injuries to workers and others on the construction site. Using them is a small investment that allows workers to move quicker around the site without fear of injury.

Suggestion: Use yellow Stego as a vapor barrier, especially with a living space above.. it comes in different thickness’s, I used 15 mill, you might also want to tape any seams with the special tape they have. If your going to paint or epoxy coat the garage floor, this will keep moisture from coming up and causing the paint/epoxy to delaminate.. Nows is also a good time to add the french drain, or possible insulation before concreting the floor.. Foamular 250 is 2.5” rigid 4’ x 8’ R10 insulation, works well.

Near me is a concrete supply shop that does rebar fabrication. It was very cheap to have them bend all of my corners, verts, etc. I didn't even use a rebar bender my whole project it made things go so much faster. I just used what, around here, are called bag ties. Precut looped metal ties that you tie with a sort of twisting hook tool. For someone inexperienced, I'm sure it was faster than learning to tie rod the traditional way. I recommend spending extra on a vapor barrier meant for under slabs. Apparently the standard plastic isn't designed to hold up forever underground. Once I finished all of the cleanup on the footings, I had an old beater shop vac. I ran it without a bag or filter, to suck up all of the lose fluff soil that I couldn't get out. I was worried about that thin layer of soil settling. Probably overkill, but it worked well for me.

The pipes are in the footing, not under it. The sleeves, and a pipe wrap, allows the pipe tp expand and contract slightly differently than the concrete, so that does not create stress cycles that crack the pipe. If the fooing settles, your pipe will move with it. That creates a shear stress on the pipe where it comes out of the side of the footing, if that section of pipe does not settle with the footing or as far as the footing does. Having bigger space around the pipe, within the footing, allows for more differential settlement without breaking the pipe, if the space is hollow or filled with a compressible material. If a pipe is under a footing, and the footing settles when the pipe settles less or not at all, then there can be both shear stresses put on the pipe as well as compressive, or crushing stresses. Good design tries to avoid creating opportunities for things to go wrong, while proper construction methods give everything the best chance of not failing over a lifetime of use. The key in this case is absolute dedication to proper compaction, and keeping those soil conditions where they should be until everything is sealed up. Pad compaction is easy. Keeping the botoms of trenches, and the backfill put into trenches across the pad properly compacted is a lot harder. One example is digging under a footer, how do you compact the soil again all the wy to the bottom of the footer, to support it? If the span is short, say a shovel width or less, then no great worries. If the span of the footing across tne trench is vreater, then this issue becomes a huge one. The answer, by the way, is a strong flowable backfill, as strong as the soil, that flows into every nook and cranny between the foundafion and the undisturbed soil, holding up the foundation. No large bubbles allowed, though. Most failures in fohndations nd slabs on grade trace back to poor compaction practices in utility trencbes, sometimes made worse by having standing wafer saturafe and weaken previously compacted soils, especially when it does so unevenly below a structure.

The sleeve on the pipes ensures that there is some allowed movement. When you drain a tub, or flush a toilet there is a lot of weight in the pipes. If they were ridged in the concrete you could see cracks develope on either side as you create a knife edge right where the pipe exits the concrete. This sleeve also allows for thermal expansion and contraction of the pipes.

Engineer 101. 40 years as a real estate investor seen it all and fixed it all. Have 5 projects going right now. Just finished a foundation leveling and complete replacement of all below grade PVC on one of our properties. Would love to buy u guys lunch sometime if your in San Antonio.

Hey, just a heads up, some of this pipe might get crushed if you Tamp it down again. It should have been buried in stone before you backfilled

Typically, like with electrical, you set the pipe in a bed of sand, at least 1" over the pipe and then 3/4 clear stone

If you gotta sleeve you might be able to pull the line back out if it should fail somehow. We had an oak tree discover the nutrient-dense source of water that was our sewer line. The steep hill in the front yard enabled the plumbers to only jackhammer a small area where the drains went into the slab and push a pvc pipe through the old clay pipe and clay soil from out front then connect to that with the drains. Unfortunately, we pulling up all the wood tile because we were sure that they were going to jackhammer all the way across the slab

not true, not the only way. They could have used 4 inch slip repair couplings and glued them in place but theyre a pain in the butt to use and cant be repositioned later. They could have put 2 inch larger size non perforated landscaping corrougated pipe over the PVC pipe in the areas that go through concrete beam ditches to protect it from breakage from foundation shifting / settling and wrapped all PVC plumbing with 6mil poly aheeting where PVC rises up through slab so settling foundation cant pull down on PVC and cause it to have backfall or break it. This also makes for easier foundation plumbing repairs when there is a problem later

When setting expectations on speed of the job realize that man hours don't really change unless you are using speed multiplier technology. The amount of men working the job can so the plumbers were fast but it still was roughly 18 man hours of work.

Glad to see your plumber at work. I definitely would never use that coupling to tie into main on new construction. My plumber tied to put one on the new sewer main here completed on our 1940 remodel/addition. I told him he would fired on the spot for using that on his screw up. Had to fix it properly and call for new inspection.

Where are the water supply lines? Where will the water heater go? As for garage floor drain, you don't need it. Its not like you will be driving cars covered in ice and snow in very much at all.

as a kid we ran A MILE of water line from town to my grandfathers new home. we had the pipe in the trench most of the way i believe AND it RAINED, even tho we had spots held down with some dirt the line floated !!! so i got to get in the trench (was small enough to walk down it) and use a hoe to dig the dirt out from under the line where it had caved in while floating.

I wouldnt use emt as a support stake, its hollow and shouldnt rise above grade as it creates a void in the concrete, plumbers should have use some #4 rebar. Nevertheless, gonna be a nice project.

Your geotechnical report should note total settlement and differential settlement. Most occurs during framing and you’ll never notice it. You need a little gap or air space to prevent crushing. Make sure the sleeve is located so it’s centered around the pipe, not laying on top of it. Keep up the good work!

That plumbers was wrong about "it never hurts to go larger". If the pipe is too large then the water flow is insufficient to clean the pipe, and you get a buildup of scum at the top of the pipe that eventually leads to problems. Bigger is not better - the pipe needs to be the correct size for the flow.

I'm Amazed The City of County Inspectors gave You'll some slack with the Sleeves on the plumbing crossing the trenches usually that would be A Fail or Incomplete Scope of Work in the end they were cool about with You'll about these and these are for expansion and protection of the pipes for the concrete weight and the rebar help this too!!

Maybe you should anchor all drain pipes into the ground with a custom spike fastener so they wont float to the top of concrete ?

12:16 I thought two-way cleanouts would need two stubouts - one that sweeps to the house side and one that sweeps to the sewer side. What are you supposed to do with one stubout here? Try to angle your snake/hook as you drop it down a Y?
