These are the afters. I dug the hole. And backfilled it. The plumber cut out the old sewer pipe and installed the new.
The after. The hole is about three feet deep. The tunnel off to the left was hard to backfill.
The backfill. That wasn’t enough to refill the hole (an old fence post footing came out and didn’t go back; a sinkhole about the size of a basketball had formed over the broken pipe.)
