Replacing A Failing Sewer Line

- Replacing a failing sewer line. This line had several tree roots through the pipe causing it to back up in the house. They had it roto rootered out but the damage was already done from the roots. I followed it all the way to the sewer main and replaced all the pipe with new sch 40 pvc. Then backfilled the entire area with clean rock then tried my hand at the asphalt repair. I had to use to cold patch mix cause it was over the weekend and I didn't have time the following week to get any hot mix. Thanks for watching! #EliteEarthworks #Takeuchi #sewerwork
Lots to see in this one. Tight quarters in the alley, new TL12, saw the little International, and Elite Plumbing Services in action! Good one today!!
lol there was a lot going on for sure. Appreciate you watching
I saw where they tied it into some old clay pipe at the sewer. The other pipe looked like cast iron. Not sure because the way it was joined. During the '60's when I was young I helped my father on the weekends (no choice really - paid 25 cents/hr) run a lot of cast iron. It was bell & spigot with lead joints. After many years the bottom of the pipe always seemed to rot away since that's where the water ran. Once that happened roots had a field day with it. I looked at your cleanout. It's amazing now that 4" DWV Combo Wye & 1/8 Bend costs about $38.00 and about the same for a 4" DWV Cleanout Tee. What you put in will be there long after that house is gone.
Good work.
I think this pipe was called abs I thought it was cast too. She said it was put in 1961 it held up fairly but finally the tree roots got the best of it. Yeah the parts are pricey now. Thank you appreciate you watching
Nice job B. Looks like you have done it a time or two.!!!!
Thanks man! It’s been awhile lol
That was tight quarters. As usual, you made it look effortless. Nice finished product. Great video Brandon.
Thank you! It was a little annoying having to make sure I didn’t swing into anything lol
Brandon… I noticed MrsEE let you borrow her Farmall truck again! It must be great to have such a benevolent boss??
That ABS? pipe was a cheap alternative to cast iron… unfortunately it turned out to be brittle, once it aged. Our first home had a combination of ABS and cast iron pipe in the basement. In the five years we lived there we had about half a dozen joint leaks and cracks. One of them flooded the basement… once we got it fixed we decided to trade up to Sassafras Valley.
It doesn’t look like it has much slope. Are they going to cover the baserock in the yard with dirt or flagstone?
You had a lot of handwork on this one and I think it looked really nice.
She did 😁 yes it was ABS pipe put in in 1961. It didn’t have much fall at all and the 45 was barely in the pipe. The big area of rock is the alley so I’m guessing it will stay that way. Definitely a lot of handwork I feel like I’ve had a run of that lately lol
Wow! That was a tiny place to work in! Cool project to watch you fix. Bigger deal than I thought it would be for sure…
Thanks man! Something a little different for sure
I’m a new sub. in hopes you reach 100k. My question is if you could only have one Excav. What size would you choose ? And if you could do 2 over again what size ? And even 3 ? All comments would be appreciated.
I’ve never run a mini-Excav. but I’ve run a lot of bigger stuff including a 33yd bucket shovel.
I’m planning to use for clearing somewhat steep house lots. Digging walkout basements and driveways. In some cases needing hammer.
Thank you! I like my 2150 for clearing and basement lots. It’s a 37,000lb. Excavator I’m able to move myself it’s a good size but not too big where it’s a pain to get in places. You may want to look at a 210 if that’s all the work you are hoping to do but requires a low boy trailer to move it. I don’t do huge projects mainly clearing lots, digging basements and building driveways so the two excavators I have work perfect.
Nice video Brandon👍🏻 These underground utility videos are always my favorite. Did you do the AC patch back at the end?
Thank you! Yes I did it came out ok
Advise owner to: Completely remove asfalt up to the front door. Seems the grid is wrong. Replace by bricks which will let water thru.
This area is the side of the garage they use to park a camper here. I don’t think it gets much water in this area
Always curious what’s the % of your window tint on the skiddy and excavator?
It’s 15 on the sides and back and 35 on the front
Certainly finicky, but very nicely done. Had to chuckle near the end - that pipe you had sticking up temporarily looked like a mortar tube, LOL. Say, what was that wire you pulled out at about the 5:50 minute mark? Old phone?
🤣 I thought the same thing. Yeah it was a dead phone line. Appreciate you guys watching
Self leveling bucket on your new loader was cool to watch as you loaded your truck. Did you find a collapsed spot in the pipe? Stay safe and have a good week.
It’s a neat feature. No it had several tree roots through it. And it wasn’t in the 45 very good is what I was thinking they said they hit when they snaked it.
I try to make a 2-3” wide cut where i am going to start tearing out. Easier to break through and you have a clean starting point. Wherever you are going to first set your bucket teeth. Hope that might help on the next one.
That’s a good idea I always think the excavator bucket will go right through but asphalt is tougher than you think 🤣
Great job!! I haven't ran into black plastic as a main yet.
Thanks buddy! It’s some old pipe they used back in the 50’s and 60’s very brittle now
Good to see the International again, been a while. Great video.
It’s been a minute still I’ve used it. Thank you! Appreciate you watching
Looks great! Do you think the 2150, D39, and Hydrema 912 are bored?😂 thanks for sharing
Thanks! lol I’m guessing they are
@@eliteearthworksllc 👍
Orange burg pipe is what that pipe is called. I changed out a lot of it in my day. Very thin pipe for sure.
That’s right I could not think of the name lol it’s very brittle stuff for sure. Appreciate you watching
Yep orangeburg. I’ve replaced many water meter pits that were orangeburg.
A1 my friend 🧡 😊
Thank you!
Looks good 👍🏻🇺🇲
Thank you!
Another great video Brandon can we get an update on that amusement park bet you built about a year or two years ago thank you
Thank you! Yeah I need to run down there one weekend and film how it looks now.
Good job!
Thank you!
Good job!
Thank you!
elite work !!
Thank you!
Isn't that the dump truck you started out with? I didn't think you still had it. I think these type of jobs you are your specialty. Takes someone who cares about quality work even though it's kind of a small job.
It would be a big job for me.
Yes it’s the truck I started with, I keep it around for jobs like this. Thank you! I agree it takes some patience and someone wanting to make sure it’s done right. Appreciate you watching
Like the video Brandon watching it .
Thank you!
Something different.good little video.keep it up.😎😎😎👍👍👍

Thank you!
First, now will watch the video 👍🇺🇸
