Residential Sewer Tie-in

This Project was located in the city of Boise. The homeowner's septic system was failing and required frequent pumping costing hundreds of dollars. The city had installed sewer infrastructure throughout this neighborhood in the past, but this home was not tied in. Because of the homes proximity to the existing city sewer he was informed that he would be required to connect to the city main instead of replacing the septic. The city had run a sewer line into his property when the main was constructed to allow a tie-in without removing any sidewalk or asphalt. This stub was located 15' deep just behind the sidewalk. His existing sewer left the house in the backyard at 8' deep making trenching and install process especially challenging. It took several days to trench the 150' from the back yard to the tie in point at the sidewalk while maintaining proper grade with a margin for error of less than 3" from start to finish, but our team was up to the task. After several months of septic issues and more than a week of construction, he finally had a fully functioning sewer that will last for decades.
