What’s the proper way for me to plumb this ABS for a laundry sink and washing machine? 2” Pipe comes down from kitchen sink (I added a 2” vent already) and goes down into the sewer line. Should I plumb it similair to the attached diagram? Also should I add a 2” cleanout since it’s the kitchen drain?

I am re-doing my entire upper lateral (old cast iron) with ABS, how should I vent this downstairs toilet?

Would fitting #1 or #2 act better as a cleanout for my main stack (entire upstairs bathroom and downstairs sink feeds into this). This stack goes horizontal outside, where I will have another cleanout just a couple feet downlines, so I’m not sure it’s even necessary to add a cleanout here?

Cutting concrete to repair my sewer line, I’m at a point where the concrete is slightly thicker than the depth of the concrete saw (4”). How can I get these pieces removed cleanly? I plan to reuse the concrete pieces once the sewer line’s repaired

Replacing the upper later of my sewer line, one of the items is to replace the cast iron flange/pipe of this toilet and add a vent. How would you vent this toilet? I’m planning to configure it like this, run the vent up through that wall and to the outside where I’ll tie it to an existing vent stack

Prepping this concrete surface to add tile, towards the right it becomes close to 1-1/2” out of level (used to be exterior of home, so concrete slopes away). Debating leveling entire surface vs just using self leveler to create flat (but out of level) surface. How to correct this? More info below…

What’s the correct way to plumb this sink drain? Pipe going upward just goes into the wall & is open at the top (assuming it needs to go to the outside and have an AAV at the top to act as a vent)? The pipe going to the right goes to the drain. Capped off pipe on the left used to go to a sink
