plumbing problems

Post by Treece » Wed Jun 16, 2004 6:05 pm

My husband and I bought a 1980 Schutlz Home. It looks like certain things were updates like the walls, carpets, cabinets. But the plumbing... not so sure. We went through the VA and the VA made sure certain requirements for the plumbing is correct. (Which it was up to code..the VA standard code.) But I would like to know is, is there a plumbing symatic drawings that I can get somewhere? We have already had problems with 1 tiolet and fixed it. Now we have a leaking laundary drain tube. When you remove ceiling tile in our basement you look straight up and find a mess of plumbing tubes and wires. We can't tell what any drain comes from or goes to. I am desperate to find out if there are any types of plans regarding plumbing for our home.

When a MH home is built the drainlines are simlly stubbed out under the home.When the home is set a plumber then connects all the pipes and runs them
out to a main drain line.So the answer to your question is no ,as plumbing is connected after the home is built and set up on your site.

Treece,
Yes, you should be able to get the drain line drawing easily from the manufacturer. In fact if you have the paper work that came with the home from the factory, you have these drawings.
If not call the manufacturer, if they won't provide them, call your state agency.
