you need a plastic laid before you put rebar for a moisture barrier or that slab will sweat like crazy unless you are in the desert .

Just what I want to see. Do you ever have to do slabs that have the deep beams like you see in expansive clay soils in Texas? What about just the thicker slabs, usually at least 7" thick, that have two layers of rebar but no beams?

Thicker slabs will still rise with expansive soils. Yes, I deal with micro piles (piers) a lot in my area.

Great video but Please verify your geographic location. Anyone building north with frost line requirement, prep would be different.

Will there be plastic sheeting put down before the concrete pour? I presume the plumbing pipes are buried, how easy will it be to move the drain pipe when you move the shower?

no plastic on this job, but some jobs yes when the alkali in the soil demands it. Not hard to move drain as it will not be encased in concrete.

You place a plastic box around the shower pan to keep the concrete from forming around the p trap so you have room to work when you do the pour. So you don't have to chisel it out

How do you determine the offset distance of the plumbing work from the wall? Is this also in the code?

Offset from what?

You need to read your plumbing plans on your house plans for location's of the wall plumbing .You have to measure them out from the slab edges

I am not sure which one. If you look in the history you should find what you are looking for. This home had an 8ft over excavation.

How far down do you need to go avoid frost/freezing of the plumbing? I have fractured basalt rock as the base.

Depends on the local building code requirement. Talk with your permitting office or your engineer. Could be in excess of 30 inches, or less.

So your building code doesn’t require you to spray/exterminate for bugs and cover with some type of visqueen or plastic?

No, not under the slab, not for local permit. USDA builds do require it and I had that done recently on a home. I do not recommend it. It only lasts 7 years and is too costly, almost $1,000. Best to just have a bug person come a few times a year.

How far deep do you make the waste water pipes relatice to the foundation footing or concrete slab?
@HowToBuildYourOwnHome
@HowToBuildYourOwnHome 2 ай бұрын
The necessary grade of pipe dictates this plus the depth of the sewer connection in the street.

Wait, is this really concrete straight on the dirt? No insulation of any kind? Nothing?
@HowToBuildYourOwnHome
@HowToBuildYourOwnHome 3 ай бұрын
Yes, it is common across the country, especially slab on grade. The insulation is only a new feature or upgrade many are choosing to use, mostly for colder climates, I build in a hot and dry climate.

Yes, mostly in higher altitudes, mountain areas. I have had to deal with radon when building in Park City. But now where I build now.
