: : I have an underground drain line from my kitchen that loops around the front of my house, travels about 40' parallel with the front of the house, and then connects with my main septic line. The problem: the line is approximately 30" underground, the front portion of the house also has a concrete patio, and the line is leaking somewhere under the concreted section.
: : Does anyone know of a way to remove/replace the leaking drain line (which is 2 or 2 1/2" plastic) without having to break up 40' of concrete?
: : Oh, by the way, Happy New Year!!
: would capping the leaking pipe and running a new pipe in a better spot be possible for you?
Yes, that's probably my best option. Thank you for the suggestion. I was actually hoping someone knew an elf that was 2" tall who would be willing to crawl into the line and repair it from the inside. But I guess Christmas is over so all the real elves went home. Thanks again for the help.
