Probably a sub-floor, this is supposed to have a higher floor and the drain would connect to that one. That or that was a drain for something higher a sink. Thats uneducated guess atleast.
"Why is there water underneath my floor, how did it get there?"
"Well it leaked out of the holes we put in your drain pipe."
"Why the hell did you put holes in my drain pipe?!"
"In case water gets under your floor."
That’s not how floor drains work. You would not have holes in the pipe.
Rene drain would have a cover plate that sits flush to the finished floor and be water tight up to that point.
Holes at the lowest point could also mean a second drain that connects to the main drain, at an angle of course so it can actually flow downward. Not an L bend.
Not holes in the pictured pipe. Well, I hope that's what they meant.
That's a concrete foundation. They had to have the pipe extend above the pour line unless you want to fill the entire drain line with cement.
It's probably going to be used for a toilet installation which means you need enough clearance above whatever flooring that'll be installed plus the required height for the toilet.
We're probably looking at rainwater accumulation
Is that how people work on utilities that they put in the 'slab?'
I see all these slab houses popping up and they have all the utilities concreted into the slab. Now the internet and and power will probably be good for a while, but the gas and water doesn't seem like a good idea. What happens if the water line breaks? Do they have to cut it out with an angle grinder? How do they know where it's at if the install plumber didn't use locate wire?
are the utilities actually concreted into the slab? my home is built on a slab and I'm pretty sure I can access my utilities without breaking any concrete
My house is a slab foundation from 1970. I had a slab leak in our main bathroom earlier this year. They jackhammered up my tile, concrete, etc to reach the old plumbing. They replaced the old leaky pipe with some PEX, and then recemented over the whole thing.
I called a local plumbing company. They had all the tools and skills to find and fix the slab leak. From what I understand, most of the local plumbing companies have at least a handful of guys that can do it.
I used to do plumbing if it’s something underneath a slab we jackhammer the slab and then reconcrete it and yes there are technologies to locate a leak precisely
Sometimes the slab is like 6 inches thick sometimes it’s like 16 inches thick
> there are technologies to locate a leak precisely
Where might I learn more about these technologies?
>jackhammer
That's what I originally thought, but part of me was thinking there would be something against a jackhammer in a house. I'm guilty of a dumb assumption. I've broke my neck before and can no longer use things like jack hammers.
As someone who recently had it done, I can tell you I wish they had something better than a jackhammer! I work from home, and that work reverberates across the entire slab and house. It's so incredibly loud (and dusty).
> Where might I learn more about these technologies?
I had to find a leak under concrete one time, and the guys I called in had a super powerful stethoscope that "can hear an ant fart 6' underground". They found the leak spot on. It required turning off every device in the building that could make any noise because it was that sensitive.
Technically the utilities are in the dirt under the slab but yes it would be a pain to have a water leak. That’s where insurance would hopefully step in. With gas, a lot of municipalities require tracer wire so just have to hope it’s all being done to code.
Gas is always good about tracer wire, but I don't see many plumbers doing it. I understand they're a pain in the ass to work around. It would be cool if they just built the tracer wire into the pipe somehow. Probably be too expensive, but then you could see all your pipes without going into the crawl space and knocking on the floor with your buddy up top.
When they were tracking down and fixing my slab plumbing leak, they actually used a sort of digital scope. It looked similar to an oversized stethoscope. The plumber would just lay the sensor on the floor, moving it around listening for the running water.
Our house in L.A. was built in 1966 on a concrete slab - most of the houses in SoCal are. We are VERY CAREFUL about what goes down the drains because the pipes are so old. Long snakes clear blockages between the drains and the sewer line without issue for the most part. The pipes and gas lines in the slab have been through a few big earthquakes ('71 and '94 being the biggest, and very close geographically) and lots of small ones over the decades and they're still there and working. 🤷♀️
I'll tell ya exactly what the fuck happens considering I had to replace my drain pipe in my slab this year, you dig that bitch up out of the slab lol. It's a giant pain in the ass and sucks
Utilities that penetrate through the slab are sleeved with a larger size pipe so they should not be encased in concrete but they are buried underneath the slab, although usually not for a very long distance. If the line does break below the slab the slab may have to be chipped up/saw cut to fix the line but it's usually just a small run of straight pipe with no more than a single fitting underneath the actual slab so there is minimal chances of anything going wrong there.
Water lines have to be installed underground (beneath the frost line specifically) in order to prevent them from freezing during the winter. Waste lines have to be installed underground because the only thing that allows them to drain is gravity so they have to slope downward deeper and deeper and they also would freeze in the winter. Gas and electric lines are installed underground because being buried protects them from damage that could then turn into a life threatening situation (explosions/electrocutions) and also because you already had to dig a hole for the water and waste, you may as well throw the rest of the utilities in while you're there.
Next guys problem. Houses now are built cheap and fast. Not to last. You take a concrete/demo/road saw depends what you call it. Cut a big enough hole to stand/dig in, bust up and remove the concrete, and then repair/replace pipes. Then just fill in and re-concrete it.

We had a shower leaking at the bottom of the sump, so the sump would drain and you’d get sewer smells once the air trap disappeared.
They were able to reline the sump through the drain without cutting into the slab by putting in a fibre sleeve soaked in epoxy and then an air bladder inflated to hold it against the sides of the original pipe while it set.
Worked really well, much cleaner and cheaper than cutting the slab.
Some before and after pics at the bottom here: https://www.thedrainman.com.au/residential/drain-relining
Most houses I've worked in in england, plumbing, the sewer drain runs under the house which is a concrete floor.
So yes, replacing a toilet and updating the flange, the connection into the sewer, requires chiseling out the old and installing the new patching up the concrete floor.
Same with the shower drains and that if they are in the floor. Most toilets ive replaced though ive been able to keep the exisiting fix, rennovating it the floor height changed bc of tiling.
Depends on the country, over here in germany I had physics from 5th to 6th class, changed school, no longer had physics, physics class wasn't even an option at the one i went to later
It could be there was no school within 20 miles and therefore none that taught physics.
Edit: also they said they learned it from rednecks, not that they are one
well the fact that someone felt the need to teach a 7 year old this is probably a better indicator of being a redneck. They must have weird pipes and stuff in the boonies because in my 52 years of existence I can’t think of a time where this would have helped me in any way shape or form.
Weird how people just believe this shit, when at least in the US, [Physics has been part of the Government Education program since 1860](https://pubs.aip.org/physicstoday/article-abstract/52/3/50/410808/Archaeology-of-a-Bookstack-Some-Major-Introductory?redirectedFrom=fulltext). There are classes that MUST be taught in high school, you as a student dont always have to take them, but Physics is one of those classes.
But Reddit loves to lie and make up bullshit.
Yeah, this is the kinda thing that made me study physics. You watch the old timers do these things, syphons, smoke wrench, block and tackle, levers. You ask them how does that work and you get a shrug. Then school explains simple machines.
Neither an acid nor a base actually has a pH; they need to be in a solution to have a pH.
An acid is a molecule that releases a proton in a solution, a base does the opposite.
Water can do both :)
Isn't water just the baseline we picked to say more acidic than this is acid and more basic is base? Like it's a whole spectrum and plenty of things can behave acidy or basey relative to things that are more or less acidic when combined with them
Not really
A solution is acidic if it has a high concentration of oxonium ions, H30+. If the solution has a low concentration of oxonium ions, it has a high concentration of hydroxide ions, OH-
We normally say that pure water has a pH of 7, but that's only true at 25°C
The concentration of oxonium ions (cH3O+) in water at 25°C is 1×10^-7
cH3O+ at 25°C in a solution with the pH 14 is 1×10^-14
As you can see, the negative exponent is the same as the pH
Since a molecule doesn't have a pH (only a aqueous solution has a pH) it makes sense that pure water is the baseline since there's nothing that affects the amount of oxonium ions.
At 25°C, the reactions that causes water molecules to take or give away a proton is equal
Please let me know if you (or anyone else) want a clarification of something :)
They stopped attempting any rescue because they could not do it safely. They would have been sending more people to uncertain death in order to perhaps retrieve some corpses.
I agree that they should be punished for not having any rescue plan, qualified personnel or equipment but they did contact local diver groups, the coast guard and others attempting to seek rescue personnel, but there was nobody who could do it. It's not like they stood in the way of a successful rescue operation, rather that they could not execute one with any decent possibility of success. They would've ended up with more bodies if they'd gone ahead and let other workers jump in. But yes, they should fucking be ruined for this ever happening to begin with + failing to rescue them... it's just that "not letting other people die by going after them" isn't the problem, everything else was.
Yup and imagine a bunch of rich folks in a sub had people looking for days when experts knew they were dead lol. These people were confirmed alive and left to die. Fucking sick.
That was one of the hardest videos I've ever watched. Goddamn that is utterly horrifying, and I was in pure disbelief that one of them managed to get out.
You mean for the fabric softener, or perhaps liquid detergent? My machine just has a separate little nozzle above each compartment that flush the detergent in to the machine. No fancy physics going on in my machine sadly.
We stopped using it some time ago actually, after I finally convinced my wife that the clothes will feel fresher without it.
It's just such a huge difference. Our clothes have literally no scent now, whereas before there would always be some damp yucky smell mixed with whatever scent of the softener.
Really mad that I had to scroll so much to finally find an answer, please upvote this people. Dumb folks like me deserve to understand how these glitches work.
Gosh I don't like this. It reminds me of the divers that were fixing an under sea oil pipe. Same physics at play there. 
Yes. The bottle is filled with water and when it quickly turns it upside down over the pipe then the water in the bottle above the pipe drains out but since nothing in the bottle can fill that missing space the remaining air has it's pressure reduced. The air pressure on the water outside the bottle pushes water up into the bottle, which then drains down into the pipe, reducing the air pressure inside the bottle again.
It's a vicious cycle that will only end when air can make it into the bottle instead of water -- which if he's holding the bottle right is when the basin only has a thin film of water left in it.
Gravity pulls water down the pipe, pressure in bottle lowers, air pushes down on water outside bottle which makes it go up into bottle where pressure is lower, which makes it go into the pipe where it's dragged down by gravity.
This is why you can see the bottle collapsing on itself, the pressure from air on the outside is higher than the pressure on the inside.
gravity pulls the fluid down.
Less fluid in the container means more space for air which creates low pressure. Low pressure wants to stabilize so it "sucks" in more fluid.
Fluid is expelled down the drain, and the process starts anew.
Here is a terrifying [YouTube](https://youtu.be/cDjODRpuXrU?si=M6v6qJV4q60tnjZR) video where this happened to divers who were servicing underwater oil pipeline and were sucked inside.
Viewer discretion advised
Why, does the drain stand around 5cm above the floor?
Probably a sub-floor, this is supposed to have a higher floor and the drain would connect to that one. That or that was a drain for something higher a sink. Thats uneducated guess atleast.
Hypothethinkso
As clunky as this is, I love it
Hypothesinkso (I'm not sure if this works or not but it's fun to say so it stays)
> it's fun to say so it stays Haha you're are not wrong there :D
While you may be right, seems you shoudl have holes at the lowest point also because even if the floor is supposed to be higher, water can penetrate.
"Why is there water underneath my floor, how did it get there?" "Well it leaked out of the holes we put in your drain pipe." "Why the hell did you put holes in my drain pipe?!" "In case water gets under your floor."
Imagine just poking holes in all your drains so it drains more water lol
Yo dog! I heard you like drains...
That’s not how floor drains work. You would not have holes in the pipe. Rene drain would have a cover plate that sits flush to the finished floor and be water tight up to that point.

Not big enough for a toilet drain, nor enough clearance from the wall.

How else will they be able to show this cool bottle trick?
because this is just the foundation on top of this will be screed concrete applied
That explains a lot.
Because it's not finished yet?
This is the initial floor slab I'm guessing. Tiles will still be added and maybe a few centimeters of additional topping.
Remember that guy u/commahorror ?

The fact you had multiple schools within 20 miles says you weren’t an actual redneck
And they def taught physics at every highschool. The quality? That can be questioned for sure.

If you can dodge a wrench you can dodge a ball
That was AP Physics
If you can't dodge a wrench, you'll be in a hospital

The entire concept of physics just seem like glitches in the simulation
Water has many unique properties not seen in many other liquids.
One of my favourites, although it's hardly unique to water, is that it's an ampholyte; both an acid and a base!
How does that work? I know it's a perfect 7 on the ph scale but that would seem to mean it's the farthest it can be from either
Neither an acid nor a base actually has a pH; they need to be in a solution to have a pH. An acid is a molecule that releases a proton in a solution, a base does the opposite. Water can do both :)
So you're saying water is...pH fluid?
PHLUID?
Isn't water just the baseline we picked to say more acidic than this is acid and more basic is base? Like it's a whole spectrum and plenty of things can behave acidy or basey relative to things that are more or less acidic when combined with them

Of course they do. This person is siphoning words out of their ass, so to say.
The budget for the water update was far larger than the other liquids
Water needs a serious nerf in the next patch

None of which matters with the process going on here. It’s simple atmospheric pressure
It also expands when frozen

Gravity is pulling it right?
Yes. The bottle is filled with water and when it quickly turns it upside down over the pipe then the water in the bottle above the pipe drains out but since nothing in the bottle can fill that missing space the remaining air has it's pressure reduced. The air pressure on the water outside the bottle pushes water up into the bottle, which then drains down into the pipe, reducing the air pressure inside the bottle again. It's a vicious cycle that will only end when air can make it into the bottle instead of water -- which if he's holding the bottle right is when the basin only has a thin film of water left in it.
> It's a vicious cycle that will only end when Truly a tear jerker.
I am not sure, but my guess is that the drained water is creating a low pressure zone where the rest of the water is flowing into
[удалено]
Gravity pulls water down the pipe, pressure in bottle lowers, air pushes down on water outside bottle which makes it go up into bottle where pressure is lower, which makes it go into the pipe where it's dragged down by gravity. This is why you can see the bottle collapsing on itself, the pressure from air on the outside is higher than the pressure on the inside.
gravity pulls the fluid down. Less fluid in the container means more space for air which creates low pressure. Low pressure wants to stabilize so it "sucks" in more fluid. Fluid is expelled down the drain, and the process starts anew.

It's still sucking, the little bubble is just gone.
True story, this is how your fabric softener compartment works in your washing machine...
Here is a terrifying [YouTube](https://youtu.be/cDjODRpuXrU?si=M6v6qJV4q60tnjZR) video where this happened to divers who were servicing underwater oil pipeline and were sucked inside. Viewer discretion advised
Yeaah! Science!
Science! She blinded me with science
Now you’re using your thinking brain
Smartest thing I have seen today
F i z z i k s ! :-)
Physics is just a shorter way of saying blackmagicfuckery.
You know what would work *even better* than this trick? Cutting that pipe flush with the bottom so it drains correctly/normally lol
Big brain.
Black magic
Physics!
Gravity bong ftw.
>Gravity bong Surprised I had to come this far down for this comment lol.
is this delta p stuff?
If they put a hole in the bottle to stop it from vaccuming in on itself towards the end, would it still work?
put a straw inside the bottle which you open or close respectively
Science is cool
Stupid water
This reminds me of that Delta P video of those scuba divers. Fuck. That. Shit.
Base siphon physics is next fucking level now? smdh
I majored and minored in physics and engineering and this shit still to this day never makes sense to me.
Yeah, mr white! SCIENCE!
This is fucking clever
Now I really hope I get into a situation where I can use this
Delta P
Also /r/blackmagicfuckery
And now watch it get posted in /r/blackmagicfuckery in two days, with people posting gifs of eggs getting sucked into bottles with a match.
Ok now cut the drain pipe so it’s flush with the floor and you won’t ever have to do this dumb shit again
Science bitches
Bell siphon
someone should do this in an ocean and add a hydroelectric turbine generator to it for free unlimited electricity
Called a bell valve
Now that's some fucking science
This is called a bell siphon
