hoef Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 (edited) Hi, I am replacing the siding on my garage and also want to put in a larger window. Now I am finding all these pipes that look like sewer vents. I have attached a pic so you can see them. I highlighted, what I think is the old system in blue and the new system in pink. Can I remove the old system w/o harm? And why is the newer (pink highlight) system going like that? Thanks for any info on this.....

RedScare Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 (edited) It doesn't look like either set of pipes is "new". No one uses iron pipes in residential sewers anymore.Where does this stuff go? Is that the slab at the bottom? What is on the other side of that wall? It is impossible to make any sugestions when we can't see what it is connected to. Edited November 18, 2009 by RedScare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm1fd Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 The black is probably ABS plastic, not iron... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GREASER Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Why does the slab look so uneven? Is there a lower 2x4 that these studs rest on? Why does the slab look so uneven? Is there a lower 2x4 that these studs rest on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdmarc Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 How do you know the "old system" is no longer in service?The pink "new" system, appears to be done correctly for a retrofit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
