Home sewer line replacement...

[Ron in SoCal]

....sucks and I hate it. Big time hit to the car budget.

That is all...:mad:

Sorry to hear it Ron. Wish I was closer I would do it for you. Pretty easy fix typically just depends on whats on top and how deep.

Are you 100% sure its the house side of the cleanout?

[Ron in SoCal]

Appreciate that Gae. Would've loved to have you do it! Yeah, we camera'd everything. First contractor came in and wanted rediculous money for one side of the house. Got a solid reccomendation for a reputable company and we mapped out the whole deal. My house is U shaped and a combo raised/slab foundation, so one side was the initial problem. By the time we got to the T running out to the street we decided to do another 26 feet, inlcuding replacing what was left of the cast iron under the other side of the house. Pretty much a complete replacement less about five feet of clay going to the city line.

[Track Junky]

Gotcha. So the cast is rusted through? Had that happen to a house I owned that was built in '62. Replaced it a year after I bought the house in '01 finding the rusted cast during the remodel.
Keep in mind the city is responsible from the cleanout to the main line. Clean outs are typically within 3' of property line but older homes vary greatly and sometimes dont even have a cleanout.
Good luck Bro!!

How's your flowerbeds and plants doing? You could go out there and start fertilizing 'em! They should be going great by spring!


Heck - the Indians used to grow corn that way - and then they'd eat it too!

Ron, that sucks.... :mad: I didn't think your house was that old... I had to have some clay replaced with cast iron on a previous property, but that one was built in 1908 so I wasn't shocked.

House was built in 57. Two remodels in early and late 2000s, everything has been replaced except for the underground part of these two sections of the line. Oh well, it'll be done by the weekend.

[Bucketlist2012]

That really sucks...I had to replace one in 2006 when I was selling a home...Not cheap at all...I couldn't sell the home "as is" due to it being a sanitary issue...The whole damn house and 230' to the street...Plus the "city" fees....

Never good when you have to spend that kind of money on something buried...

Lat-G meet Greg Weld after a week of isolation with Roger ...:lol:



Thankfully he stayed an hour and a half up the road.... AND he had Shannon with him!


I think it may be more a case of having a sister in law and a niece here for a week.... :D :thumbsup: :rofl:

Yeah, Greg's love overflows sometimes. :lol:

Got the project wrapped today. Gotta say these guys are good. Four days start to finish, over 110 feet of line. They even had the line working off and on for the last day and half (big relief). Only thing I'm worried about is that they could not compact the dirt under the house and driveway before pouring concrete. Wonder if it'll settle and cause problems? Contractor said their work has a lifetime guarantee and will stand behind it. We'll see...
