Sewer pipe
Yesterday they had the existing sewerline excavated and televised. The portion of the line between the curb and the center of the street was in good condition, so they avoided having to dig up the street. The remainder of the clay line between the curb and the house was replaced, because portions were sloping the wrong direction and there was significant root infiltration.
This picture show the existing pipe where it goes under the road.
The picture below shows the new pipe as it is being "bedded in" (A process where pea gravel is placed around the pipe to prevent it from moving in the ground). The old pipe had not been properly "bedded in" which contributed to its failure.
