Hey DIY enthusiasts,

Just wrapped up a drain installation and wanted to share some quick tips for a smooth project:

1. Plan Smart:
Think about the slope, existing pipes, and ideal placement before you start. A good plan saves time.

2. Get the Gear:
Collect all the tools and materials you need beforehand for a hassle-free process.

3. Check Local Rules:
Ensure you're compliant with local regulations and have any necessary permits.

4. Dig with Precision:
Maintain a consistent slope, watch for turns, and avoid damaging utilities while digging.

5. Quality Materials Matter:
Invest in top-notch PVC pipes, connectors, and gravel for a long-lasting drain system.

6. Seal the Deal:
Take extra care when sealing joints and connections to prevent leaks.

7. Test Run:
Before finishing up, test your drain system to catch and fix any issues early on.

8. Backfill Like a Pro:
Backfill in layers and compact each layer for stability and longevity.
