You shouldn't use large chunks of stone or concrete for fill. They don't move well and can cause cracking

[@josephthao4456]

Thank you for this video. Now i have a better understanding of back filling plumbing.

[@luisarashirovideo]

The best fill job I've seen here so far

[@renovationschool8818]

thank you kindly 🙂

[@mikepatton1873]

I would have used all gravel no dirt. 6 inches of gravel on all sides of the pipe as I.P.C. And A.P.C. Requires. Just get rid of the dirt in this scenario.

[@jacobgrubb1034]

Great video. Just what I was looking for

[@berniel3358]

No,no,no big pieces of cement rocks are just not recommended because you will have air pockets where the cement or gravel wont go in .

[@flybike2210]

Thank you for sharing this video of your project Mustafa. My favorite part is the part where you are compacting the soil in the trench with your feet in time lapse. Exactly how I did it but more fun.

[@renovationschool8818]

🤣🤣 thanks for watching , i wonder how yours turned out?

[@annmarie443]

Your explanation makes me feel like I can do it. Thanks!

[@patrickleigh1523]

I like the garden hose on the compacted area. It also rinses a little more dirt down around those bigger rocks. If sand is available, it is perfect.

[@RyanTowner-vx2gs]

Super helpful! Thank you for this video series. I'm installing my basement bathroom plumbing today.

[@renovationschool8818]

Thanks for watching

[@Airbender24B]

Thanks for the video renovation school. I was wondering if you could explain why it is ok for the concrete to contact the toilet drain/flange but not the shower drain...

[@renovationschool8818]

Thanks for watching We installed a shower base later and the bottom of the drain on the shower pan needed some room to connect with the plumbing that's why it's left the way you saw it in the video. I left that flower pot so that I have a bit of room for the bottom of my shower drain.

[@frankly2677]

Wow exactly what i needed and good words of encouragement, thanks!

[@antaholics]

I may have missed a previous video, but why did you transition from ABS to PVC and then back to ABS again? Why not just use ABS for all of it?

[@renovationschool8818]

Thanks a lot for watching We live in Canada and abs pipes are extremely expensive. The building code allows us to use PVC underground Anything above ground has to be abs. By using 4-in PVC pipes I saved about $400 in the price of my supplies. As you mentioned I could definitely do the whole thing using ABS pipes.

[@amjadjaki]

I have a question how much Toilet flange b must be above the ground ? Or it should be under flash with floor?

[@renovationschool8818]

Should be at least level with the finished floor But it's best if it sets about a quarter of an inch or 3/8 above the finished floor

[@woodwisdomnonsenseandcats4203]

Thanks! I have a small recess around my shower drain that I need to fill in before putting the pan in. It was hard to find a video on filling holes I kept getting results for crack repair. This is exactly what I needed. Thanks again!

[@renovationschool8818]

I'm glad it could be a help Thanks for watching

[@spicytranslations9604]

This is what it looks like. Not this is how it looks like.

[@renovationschool8818]

Thanks 🙏

[@MrRustyjackson]

Thanks for the tips! How do you estimate how many bags of concrete you needed? How many for this project?

[@renovationschool8818]

No worries Thanks for watching😊 If u go around 3 inch thick every bag go about 3 squar feet area It's always better to have some extra.

[@cobuck4007]

Thanks so much! I plan on doing this to my own basement. However, I need to install an ejector to kick sewage out. But this is really helpful.

Thanks for watching the video The process is easy and every job is different. You get the idea. I have a lot of new videos coming explaining how to finish a basement and save time and money so please subscribe to the channel if u are interested.😊

[@jacobgrubb1034]

Same for me. Also I was looking to see type of concrete to use. Now I know.

[@buddyh5978]

Wheres the vapor barrier??

[@thomaskelly5354]

how do you cure the concrete afterwards?

[@renovationschool8818]

With magic. What do you mean cure the concrete?! It will dry and cure by its self.

[@poop80016]

Thanks, lots of little tips and insights into this process!

[@renovationschool8818]

Thanks for watching and welcome to the channel 😊

[@joshscott8678]

No sand, rebar, mesh, or plastic vapor barrier?

[@renovationschool8818]

You didn't see the sand I put in? It's not a driveway to need rebar or mesh.

[@jimmysimwanza5886]

Do you put vapour barrier?

[@toddgilligan]

Yep, were is the vapour barrier?

Hi there ,I thought that u need Cement to fill back??I mean Not Sand mix cement??? Is that Ok??Thank you.I mean is that cement ok ,I thought that is for fill in between Brick and stuff.

[@renovationschool8818]

We use mortor to fill the gap for bricks This sand mix concrete and perfect for this application. And goes on extremely smooth and nice.

[@spicytranslations9604]

Underneath the pipes not underneath OF the pipes. You don't need 'of' in that sentence.

That's great until an inspector fails the entire job for using those big ass uneven slabs of concrete for support instead of pea-stone or sand. Glad I work in a state that doesn't allow hack jobs. Take some pride in your work

[@lereveure]

@@renovationschool8818 That's a good example of someone having difficulties communicating in a positive way. Courage my friend

[@renovationschool8818]

@@lereveure for god sakes when was the last time an inspector showed up for backfill anyway???? what the guy calls" big ass uneven slabs" are broken pieces of concrete and they secure the pipes just like making a foundation for it. we have a lot of people who just know how to comment only. if by any means this mr american is so good please make a video and teach us all how to do it the right and american way!!! show us the right way MR Not HACK!!! can you communicate with someone being that disrespectful and full of himself ???? someone who thinks he knows too much!!!

[@briansegall1084]

How is an inspector going to see what's under the slab?

[@renovationschool8818]

@@briansegall1084 does the inspector come after concrete is done to to see what's under it in US???? Right when everything is open and the pipes are completely visible they come and see it After they left I poured the concrete!! They saw what they needed to see. There is no code indicating how to pour concrete or what exactly to back fill with.

[@xxxdpgxxxx1389]

How high should the flange sit from the concrete ?

[@renovationschool8818]

Depending on the thickness of your flooring. It has to be at least flush with the surface after ur tile or floor job is done. It can sit slightly higher max 1/4 inch higher than ur finished floor. I always go flush. So just see what you are gonna use as flooring there.
