We didn't leave until 10 pm. We dug out all the pipe from the septic tank to the house and replaced it. A family member who is a plumber came to help. Then we moved into the basement. First the floor was jackhammered. Then dug. There we found the problem. Tree roots had grown into the plumbing, under the basement floor. The roots were so thick they burst the pipes (there were cracks in them). So the floor was jackhammered back to the floor drain and the pipe replaced. The hole still needs to be filled in. Maybe Sunday.
The septic tank and trench leading to the house
The trench, with the old pipe. My daughter and her guy are looking at something, probably roots
The tank was getting pumped out. It smelled better out here lol
In the basement, new pipe going in
