Septic Line Repair in Pomeroy, Ohio
Sewage backing up into a Pomeroy home traced to a crushed pipe between the house and septic tank, replaced at the correct slope.
The Challenge
A Pomeroy homeowner had sewage backing up into the house, which is one of the most urgent problems a septic system can cause. We located the source of the trouble: a crushed pipe between the house and the septic tank, likely damaged by tree roots and settling ground. Until that line was repaired, waste had nowhere to go.
What We Did
Our crew excavated down to the break in the line, opening up just enough of the yard to reach the damaged pipe. We removed the crushed section and replaced it with new pipe set at the correct slope so waste flows freely from the house to the tank.
While we had the line open, we checked the tank's inlet to make sure the connection was in good shape. Then we backfilled the excavation and restored the yard the same day, leaving the homeowner with working drains and a lawn put back in order.
