Single-family residence - Trenchless Sewer replacement
Investment Info:
Single-family residence in Tempe AZ with old deteriorating cast iron sewer pipe.
This project required the complete replacement of the sewer system under the home and from the home to the city tap in the alley.
We completed this project with (2) holes in the back yard and 2 holes inside the home (bathroom and laundry). We used the trenchless Pipe Bursting method to pull the new sewer piping through the existing cast iron which has deteriorated over the years.
What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?
No one else wants to do these. I have a comfort level for challenging projects.
How did you finance this deal?
Self financed
How did you add value to the deal?
Minimal disruption to the existing flooring in the home and the landscaping in the back yard.
What was the outcome?
Quicker, less invasive, less expensive sewer replacement than the standard trenching method.
Lessons learned? Challenges?
Digging in Arizona is HARD!
