Troubleshooting
Leak at connection point
Ensure pipe is fully inserted and solvent cement was applied correctly to both surfaces. Re-apply solvent cement and re-join if necessary, ensuring proper curing time.
Blockage in the branch
Inspect the connected pipes for obstructions. Use appropriate drain clearing tools to remove any blockages. Ensure the system is adequately ventilated.
