Drain and Waste Lines
Pipes that collect wastewater from fixtures like sinks, toilets, showers, and tubs, then carry it away from your home. These lines are sized according to the fixtures they serve and must maintain proper slope for gravity flow. They connect to increasingly larger pipes as they approach the main sewer line.
