We are getting a new main line put in today, and someone at my Dad's work was saying that we could have a 15 foot sinkhole or something, but I really doubt it. The ground is pretty squishy, and saturated feeling, but I would think that would be expected. I could see maybe a few feet of erosion...

Are there ever significant sinkholes from the orangeburg leaking?

The conclusion is we need to dig it up some way, or another. I started to dig to see how long it would take me, and i dug about 2'x2' deep in about 15 minutes.... I started right by the clean out pipe, which is by the street. The city said we needed a licensed plumber to do the...

Someone is coming out tomorrow, I will let you guys know what they tell me. Thanks for all the help so far!

The pipe goes down into the floor. I wont be able to tell where the orange burg starts until I dig down to it?

When you walk into our house you enter the basement. I don't really understand what you mean in the above post. Sorry for not puting this information in there.

Our basement is finished, and there is a cleanout pipe right inside of the house. So, basically the orangeburg should start right by that? I think I will at least dig down to it at the top by our house to see how deep it is first.

We are going to get a cammera in there this week. I am assuming a couple things here, but my 3 of my close neighbors had to have theirs replaced, so I think it's a fair assumption. The Orangeburg will be under the foundation then, or will there be a piece of steal that goes from the...

Since I am on a hill do you think they would have used 90 degree elbows to make it "stair case downward, or do you think it would have been more of a gradual slope down? Really appreciate your help.

I'm not exactly sure where, or how much. My house sits on a hill, and at the bottom is a cleanout pipe that goes down about 6 feet. I figure if it is easier to just dig down, and then repair a section, and hope it lasts about a year that is what I would do. I would like to save some money up...

I was wondering if it was possible to replace the orangeburg myself, or if I should just get it done by a plumber? Also, how do you know how deep the actual line is? Thanks.
