    Time for Underground Pipe to Freeze???

    3" and 6" pvc pipe, 4' deep, 50 degree effluent, winter in wisconsin...I checked the plumbing code for sanitary sewer and found that there should be 1.5" thick insulation 5' to either side of the pipe to prevent it from freezing but I can't find anything on how long it will take it to freeze.

    Sometimes you just need to scream!!!

    GOOD Day.

    My favorite saying as a child was "sum bitch"... learned from my grandpa. I would also pretend to spit chew just like him in a little cup I had to carry around. My mom said it was a process to break me of it before I went to kindergarten.

    how to get stamp/seal

    In many states stamps, self inking or otherwise, are considered to be a "seal". If you would like I can reference you some various state statutes that have the information. And you are being a dumb-a$$.

    I have been using WinSLAMM as one of the programs to model stormwater infiltration and TSS removal. I was recently told that when I went from pre-development to post-development I needed to change my soil to clay no matter what the actual soil type is. Does anyone know when this rule went into...
