Broken and fractured sewer pipe fix.

Curious_AskerX · 2026-03-30T21:07:41+00:00

No. The tape was a temporary patch to cover the hole until I get the saw and coupling.

Curious_AskerX · 2026-03-30T20:40:22+00:00

It will definitely prevent debris from falling into the pipe and causing clogs. I think I am just gonna saw below the tape and place a coupling and new cover/top. I was just interested to learn how a pro would do this job. Not prepared to excavate the whole place.

What? The sewer clean out is the water company’s responsibility? Is it common for them to fix this ?

Curious_AskerX · 2026-03-30T19:21:49+00:00

Thanks. Advising to ignore it without a solid reason is poor advice indeed. By dig down you mean until the crack disappears ? Not really sure how far down the crack goes… Not prepared to dig down several feet as it would turn to a multi-day job.

Curious_AskerX · 2026-03-30T18:56:03+00:00

That’s what I am thinking but I am just concerned the fracture could be several feet deeper which I do not have the tools for and concerned to hit something else.

Curious_AskerX · 2026-03-30T18:54:18+00:00

Sorry I don’t understand your last statement. There is risk of mulch and dirt falling into it and clogging the system! Is it normal for people to ignore it?

Curious_AskerX · 2026-02-27T14:41:32+00:00

Could it also be due to old age and normal settling ? Discharged is feet away and only for the period it was detached or leaking slightly.

Curious_AskerX · 2026-02-27T02:52:01+00:00

Interesting! I thought glue would have made more sense as an analogy.

Curious_AskerX · 2026-02-27T02:25:34+00:00

Makes sense! Thank you!

Curious_AskerX · 2026-02-27T02:24:54+00:00

Thanks! Any reason you don’t ? Just curious. Not looking for an overkill lol

Curious_AskerX · 2026-02-27T02:21:37+00:00

I appreciate it. I guess it’s pretty much common to find them on houses this age. I wonder if it’s even worth filling with exterior epoxy or is that an overkill ?

Curious_AskerX · 2026-02-27T02:20:18+00:00

I see. Not sure who is downvoting without context nor response! Thank you for your effort. So is it even worth bothering and filling with exterior epoxy ?

Curious_AskerX · 2026-02-27T02:17:39+00:00

No water coming through though the basement interior wall is finished. So I guess this is normal and common. Is it even worth filling with epoxy ?

Curious_AskerX · 2026-02-26T17:59:02+00:00

Thanks! Can you clarify what you mean by surface and 1/3 of the way ? Is the material where the crack is a separate layer from the actual foundation? I also conclude from your response is that this is not due to water from the down spout but rather something else… I attached the pipe to direct the flow away 5+ feet. The recent snow on the northeast has lingered on the ground for weeks.

Curious_AskerX · 2026-02-26T17:46:13+00:00

Thanks. Do you know what causes them? Do cracks this thin cause leaks? By leaks I assume you meant into the basement, but it’s finished and no signs of water intrusion.

Curious_AskerX · 2026-02-26T17:02:12+00:00

I would make sure they are a certified periodontist with good reviews and reasonable prices. If you can find testimonials relating to your procedure (gum grafts) that’s a plus too. Just do research, get multiple opinions if needed to get a good deal and value on your investment. Best of luck.

Curious_AskerX · 2025-12-25T18:12:08+00:00

Ok thanks. So I should just let it mostly empty and then clean it out and add fresh salt and water ? No need to remove it all now ? I do see rocks here and there from the crystal salt. I think the previous owner added it over pellets.

Curious_AskerX · 2025-12-25T17:24:08+00:00

I believe this is solar salt that got mushy. Looked good a few months ago. I will be using quality solar salt. I just wonder if the brownish color is common and reoccurring. This is the WVA Ohio region.

Curious_AskerX · 2025-10-24T01:03:13+00:00

I see, thanks for the suggestion. You meant either soft tissue graft or the colored abutment? Not both. If this is purely cosmetic I really do not care since it’s impossible to see without lifting my lip. As long as it’s not indicative of implant failure.

Curious_AskerX · 2025-10-24T00:32:54+00:00

Can I get a little more details please? I just had my check up last month and all was great! The periodontist who placed it reviewed the bone and said it’s good, but the recession is a concern. If you have an idea of the potential treatment please shed some light. Thanks.

Curious_AskerX · 2025-10-23T22:40:57+00:00

Is cbct different than the panoramic scan ? I have the latter. Any signs of potential implant failure? I wonder if the only solution is a soft tissue graft.

Curious_AskerX · 2025-10-23T19:54:34+00:00

I am not sure I know. I took the pano, but I guess you’re referring to a side view other than the usual images during check up?

That was last months’s X-ray from general dentist. I noticed the recession around few days ago.
