Repairing water damage in a second floor laundry room
We had some water damage in our home's second floor laundry room because the drip pan, which sits under the W & D overflowed. The drain line in the drip pan failed somehow, so after the water filled up the drip pan, it overflowed, eventually soaking through to the lower level. Do I need to replace sheetrock, plywood, or insulation that got wet, but is now dry? Also, what are my options for a floor drain in the laundry room to prevent this from happening again? Thanks for your time. north carolina corybush@hotmail.com

How deep should a house’s sewer line be buried?
House was built in 1925 and the drain line has collapsed. I want to replace with pvc. My question is about pipe depth. Where it is going to exit through the foundation the pipe will only be approximately 4 to 6 inches below grade. I live i VA and although we have pretty mild winters, I am worried about freezing and about local code for depth. With the pipe I have to work with under the house this measurement is going on a 1/4 in fall per foot. Any suggestions? Forrest Parker Colonial Heights VA Poboycamo@gmail.com
