New Sewer Lines

November 19, 2012





 

 

The beginning of the remodeling project is definitely not the fun stuff.  Our old sewer lines were original which means they were 90 years old and a bit rusted through.  Some digging had to be done but fortunately, not the whole yard.  They were able to run a 4 inch PVC pipe through the existing 6 inch iron pipes.

 

 

 

 

As you can see by all the utility lines in this picture, we were pretty fortunate because I fear it would have been a little tricky.

 

 

I think we also would have had a LOT larger dirt pile.

 

I know it looks like a pretty big mess, but they really did a nice job of getting all of the dirt smoothed out.

 

You can barely see the new white pipe at the bottom of this whole.  I was surprised by how deep this pipe was and how far down the "nice" brick went.
