A San Diego Plumber comments on technology, I read almost everyday about the new forms of advertising and am amazed by the many forms of communication (transfer of information whether through, phone, I-phone, I-pad, social media, computer, etc.)

The Internet usage is growing so rapidly who would've thought that close to 2 billion of the earth's population would have access to the Internet in 2011? How about by the year 2015? Will it be 3 or may be even 4 billion people, accessing the Internet, globally?

Enough said on global access of the Internet, airways.

A SAN DIEGO PLUMBER: Sewer Piping to Plastic Piping (abs)
A SAN DIEGO PLUMBER: Sewer Piping to Plastic Piping (abs)
By far the most economical form of installation of sewer pipe is plastic piping (abs piping). Although, this being said that plastic piping must be kept out of the sun (UV-rays melt or bend pipe), so that is why it is always installed underground, metal pipe above ground, or cast-iron pipe
The lifetime of abs is similar to cast-iron, I would say depending on installation (not installed on rock(s), but sand or rather on dirt), 40-50 + years is the minimum life expectancy(and hopefully also that we don't get a major earthquake like the one in Japan,9.0 maybe we should say a little prayer that it doesn't occur in S.D. California) Actually I have on occasion removed sewer piping (cast iron piping) 70-80 years old which was still some what usable.
A San Diego Plumber always tries to check grade (the pitch or the fall or called the drop) with a torpedo level Code says 1/4" of an inch per foot for 3" abs piping, and 1/8" of an inch for 4" inch abs piping. Which I always try to use the 1/4" of inch grade or drop per foot. (And a San Diego Plumber also Recommends to check your local Building Requirements).
On occasion if your not able to use the 1/4" drop, the most important thing to remember is to always have a drop,(a grade, a fall) using street fittings or using a santee on its back as a vent only if that is the only way that it can be done, depending on the situation or a Wye and a 45 for the toilet (of course that being because the toilet is the one with the biggest fittings and so which is your biggest drop for pulling a measurement, or for laying out for a rough-in measurement for a new construction plumbing project). A San Diego Plumber always recommends to call a professional to do the work.
