This house had been remodeled recently.However the old sewer line was original to the house. After running a camera down the line we determined several large root systems had destroyed the clay sewer line.
Several challenges presented themselves during this job, the original sewer line was over 5 feet deep and passed under a retaining wall.
Due to the depth of the line,we located where the sewer exited from the house and tied into that, making it more accessible while following the natural grade of the back yard.
Luckily the homeowner had left approximately 1 foot of dirt next to his concrete porch and house. Although that section had to be dug by hand, it prevented unnecessary removal of any concrete.
There was no access to the backyard except through the garage, we had to remove the canopy from the excavator in order for it to fit.
Pressured washed the customers back porch to remove any mud or debris, and backfilled.
Grateful for the challenge, and having a crew that doesn't take shortcuts.
