Pipes CappedNotice that in this shot the damp course has been put in place along with the support rebar for the floor pour. All drain pipes + inbound water pipes have been properly 'capped' (see the end of the PVC pipe) with a removable 'hat'. This will prevent any concrete contamination from entering and restricting flow within the pvc piping during the construction process. dozer

The automatic pump is set up and a run-in test is preformed for 24 hours. If there are any leaks in the system the pump will cycle on during the test. dozer
