Noisy PVC Waste Pipe

| Posted in Construction Techniques on

*
Suggestions for sound-insulating a PVC waste pipe in the ceiling of the basement? We’re going to box it in with 1/2″ drywall and are trying to keep as much headroom as possible.

    Dear Joe,

    I'm surprised to see that your question did not generate more response. It's a common problem.

    You might try getting some cast iron pipe and replacing sections with hubless adapters.

    Regards, Fred
