FOLLOW THE PIPES

• Since all your sewer drainage pipes lead to a
  primary central pipe, identify a pipe that you
  know is a drain, like a sink or a toilet.
• Follow the pipe until it connects into a larger
  pipe.
• Then follow the larger pipe until it exits your
  house. That pipe will eventually lead you to your
  sewer drainage pipe.
