You don't have basements in your part of the world? Hereabouts, if they can't find a cleanout, they pull a toilet off the floor. I have never heard of a sewer cleaner going on a roof to clear a drai
I understand. Here most houses have basements. Those that don't are built on a concrete slab. A house built above an open space would have frozen water pipes. Typically the method of a sewer-system d
I don't know your area, and I have not seen your property layout, but that sounds really high to me. Total replacements are generally half of that. $10,000 replacement jobs are rare here, and usually

Not the same thing. A "French Drain" or a "Drywell" is a hole into which water goes to percolate into the soil. A sandrock sewer is an actual sewer. Sanitary sandrocks here carry effluent which event
Maybe not, depending on location. I'm sure there are newer communities which have all their records in USGS sea-level numbers. Except that you can't look a plan so marked and know the elevation of th
Randall, I don't know whether you haven't been following the bread crumbs or if you are trolling. Just to play along, I'll pretend you are serious. Saint Paul is above sea level. This makes a lot of
Dunno. The number hasn't changed here recently. If you are building locally, your best bet is to shoot to our benchmarks. We know our sewers haven't gone anywhere. :-) -- Phil Ethier West Side Saint
Yes, this is what Saint Paul was doing before we separating our sewers. Sewage crossed dams called "regulators" or "diversions" from combined sewers to storm sewers when the sewers were overcharged i

We put ours in the dishwasher on top of the bottom rack. The secret to protecting them is to: Put plastic tumblers over a few of the "spikes" in the bottom rack. Place the cleaner unit on top of the
