Apparently there have been development supplies dumped down it, and I’m certain it was already narrowed from years of use. We’ve had the drain again up at the very least every year within the eight years I’ve lived at this home. The previous drain went beneath the completed basement by way of concrete, so there was no changing that. We needed to full re-route it. The brand new drain is like 6″ in diameter and might match an entire lemon down in. YAY!

That they had a little bit of a tough time discovering the sewer to attach it although. The excavation man is standing all the best way up – that’s how deep the outlet was! SO glad that is over too.
