sewer lines nearly all underground, slab most likely 4 inches, sewer
pipe 4 inch diameter.
lines generally underground, and under slab.


crap...thats the only issue I have then currently. � The area where the

careful and just use the extension bit �(without anything sharp on the end

older homes have clay pipe, cast iron very rare. newer homes have
plastic pipe. clay pipe would drill pretty easy

you could do the vent hole in more than one place.
