Reasons for Drain Installation
There are usually two reasons homeowners call Summers Plumbing Heating & Cooling for drain installation services. The first is that a drain has become damaged. This can occur due to several factors:

Shifting soil led to a collapse that damaged your sewer line
Sewer line collapsed due to old age or other factors
When your drain becomes damaged, it’s important to call a plumber immediately before the situation becomes worse. You’ll often notice slow drains, bad odors from your drains, or changes in your lawn, including lush patches, puddles of water, and an increase in the number of insects and rodents.

Drain Installation FAQs for Marion Homeowners
When would I need a new drain installed?
Common reasons are a basement bathroom, a laundry room move, a new kitchen island sink, adding a utility sink, or a remodel that moves fixtures around. Each new fixture needs a properly sloped drain, a trap and a vent so it drains well and doesn’t let sewer gas into the house. It’s a common project when Marion homeowners finish a basement.
Can you add a bathroom in my basement if it’s below the sewer line?
Yes. If the basement floor is below the main sewer line, the bathroom drains into a sealed sewage basin with a pump that lifts the waste up to the main line. If the sewer runs under the floor deep enough, we can tie in by gravity. We’ll check with a camera and locator first.
Why does a drain need a vent?
A vent lets air into the drain line so water can flow out freely. Without it, the drain glugs, drains slowly, and can siphon the water out of the trap, letting sewer gas into the house. In some spots we can use an air admittance valve instead of running a new vent through the roof.
Does a new drain need a permit?
In most Indiana towns, adding new plumbing like a basement bathroom or relocating drains needs a plumbing permit and an inspection. The rules vary by city and county. Our licensed plumbers pull the permit when one is needed and set up the inspection.
