Sewer Pipe excavation and repair.
Our sewer had been replaced and repaired in the 90's; in December last year we had a sewer backup and auger and camera work by the Gentleman Plumbers showed that a portion of the old repaired section had sagged at a connection, and that was the cause of the backup. Although that work left the pipe cleaned out, it was recognized that a further backup was inevitable as some time in the future, so as soon as spring arrived we contracted to have the damaged connection located, the ground was excavated to eight and a half feet to expose the pipe and connection, and the damaged section replaced. The excavation was all done in about six hours and we were without sewer service for only about 45 minutes. There is a guarantee on the work for as long as we own the house. I am very pleased that by spending several hours precisely locating the problem beforehand, the excavation was much smaller than I expected, minimizing lawn and tree root damage, and the whole operation was much faster than I expected.
