Sedro-Woolley Septic Tank

This was a very, very old house that had the original cement sewer drain stubbing out of the foundation. From that point, it went to a Big Box thin walled drain pipe that isn't code for anything I know of (first picture.

Then, it connected to the original cement sewer sections that were crumbling for the last few decdes.

Then, it connected to 2" ABS drain.

Then, it was pushed into the concrete septic tank.

All in 15 feet.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Sewage under house in Mt. Vernon, WA

This was a hard one due to the conditions. The tenant complained about bugs in the hallway bathroom, so I crawled under the house to check for problems. There were lots of both. The crawl is extreme because the crawl opening is at the furthest point away from the problem, the raw sewage, and low heating ducts.

We replaced as much as we could and will do the rest when it dries out a bit.

Fairhaven, Wa Sewer

The first picture is a 3/4 sewer snake that popped out of broken sewer under the house (shack) in Bellingham (Fairhaven neighborhood). Crawling under the shack (house) was impossible because of limited access and raw sewage:


We dug outside and was able to replace the broken section after tunneling a few feet under the house (shack).
