Connecting the Septic to the House Getting Started Laying in the pipe Connecting at the septic tank Leveling the pipe Sloping the pipe Burying the pipe Coming soon: Laying in the water line Coming soon: Hooking up the elecrical power

Sloping the pipe  This is a close up of the level on the sewer pipe.  Notice that the bubble is slightly off center to the left.  In this case our slope is to the left running towards the septic tank.  The positioning of the bubble in the level is what you use to check for an even slope. This is another 'bugs eye' view of the pipe.  When you sight along the pipe this way, any deviations from straight and level are apparent.  In this case we moved the pipe to the left in the center of the run and also added to the height in the center area.
