How Do You Frame Around Basement Pipe To Finish Drywall?

0

Basement framing can be complex because of plumbing pipes. Framing around these pipes requires a little design skill and ingenuity for you may decide to build out the whole wall to keep from having a jog in the wall. If the plumbing pipe has a clean-out access, you must frame around it in a manner as to allow access to it after the drywall is installed. In essence, framing around plumbing pipes is simply building a box against the wall. Draw a line on the floor parallel to the wall that’s behind the pipe and far enough out to embed the plumbing pipe into the new wall. Check the top of the pipe for plumb (straight up and down) with a level. Sometimes pipes lean into the room and you must adjust the framing accordingly. Square back to the wall and draw a line on the floor. You now have the shape of the bump out on the floor. Install blocking, if necessary, near the top of the plumbing pipe to provide a nailer for the top of the framing that is to go around the pipe. You will nail the top
