Love that you put the leaves back. :)

Awesome Job! I am a pool builder and also do leak detection in Tennessee. Much nicer than digging up the whole place!

I’ve actually come up with a device to hold that pipe so that a person doesn’t have to hold it. Pipe is heavy and really bad on the back or shoulder.

Could you please give a ballpark cost for this job?

How do you maintain a specific slope,?

The new pipe follows the old pipe. If the old pipe was graded when it was installed, the new pipe will also be graded. As long as the new pipe leaving the house is higher than the connection to the sewer system at the street, it will drain to the system.
