My house is about 35 years old; maybe 1979. I bought it in 1987.
The black poly pipe runs about 30 feet underground from the well and then another 25 feet under the concrete footing and concrete basement floor. It sticks up out of the concrete about one foot near the captive tank.
The ID is 1 inch, and the OD is about 1.37 inches. I do not know the pressure rating. No well info.
Today I received a letter from some uninvited insurance company wanting to insure the piping, for $65 a year.
They claim the well pipe was installed in 1977. No idea how they could tell. Could be correct though.
So, how long should this underground black pipe (about five feet underground, then under finished basement) be OK?
Thank you.
