What do Riser Diagrams Show?
A riser diagram for plumbing drain, waste, and vent (DWV) piping shows:

- the building drain
- general notes
- pipe sizes
- code-approved pipe connections
How Long Does it Take to Draw One?
I can draw a riser diagram in as little as 24 hours if you have an emergency. Otherwise it normally takes five business days. Other mechanical engineers might take weeks to produce this drawing.
Are Building Drain Layouts Important?
Yes, a building drain layout is very important. Non-plumbers almost always install the wrong fittings that cause serious clogs.
If you’re a DIY plumber, you should seriously consider asking me to draw your Building Drain Layout drawing.
Where Can I Get DIY Phone Coaching Help?
I offer DIY phone coaching. I’ve helped many homeowners over the phone install all the pipes in their homes. My favorite job was helping Zoe, a 28-year-old woman, in New Mexico with all the plumbing in her rural new home.
You can hire me for 15 minutes at a time and do either a voice or video call. Using video, I can see exactly what you’re up against to give you the best advice.
