Let’s Dig- AGAIN!

The hole they dug to access the sewer line. If you look closely you can see one of the holes in the line.
One of the issues with the sewer line- a HUGE root that had grown into the line. The picture does not do it justice.


We thought we were finally getting somewhere on the house issues, but we were wrong. The same day we got new carpet we also discovered that the sewer line was backing up again. Luckily nothing got on the carpet and we were proactive verses reactive on the situation. On Monday and Tuesday of this week we had the diggers out again and they proceeded to dig up more of the sewer line. We found another issue and it has been now been replaced. We also had them run a camera down the line to where it meets the city line and everything looks good (we should have done this the first time around, but we cannot go back and change that.) From what we can tell, that problem is fixed.

Also, Lowes came out and did some touch up work on the house so it looks better as well! Now we just have to get everything put away and the baseboard in.

With that big of a root growing in the line we are not sure how anything passed through!
