Question: What am I observing?
Answer: This is an example of a Fernco being utilized to connect two disparate materials, specifically clay tile piping to PVC. Subsequently, during the backfilling process, the soil around the pipe was not properly compacted, resulting in some shifting.
Question: Will this cause an issue?
Answer: It potentially could, but hopefully not. Based on the camera footage, the flow is actually moving in our direction, indicating that the water is flowing downward, not upward. If the flow were reversed, it would undoubtedly be a problem.
