- We had completed a drainage project at the Southeastmoor building years ago.
- One window well was getting flooded after extensive rains.
- We raised all of the window wells up so they wouldn’t take on any water.

Five Things – Widefield Blvd Sewer Replacement
-
The first houses in Widefield have orangeburg sewer pipe.
-
Orangeburg was made of wood pulp and pitch, and feels like an oil-soaked cardboard or layers of tar paper. It was manufactured in Orangeburg, New York, and was used in the 1860s until the 1970s.
-
Orangeburg is highly susceptible to root intrusion and becoming egg-shaped. Its useful life is 10-50 years.
-
At this job, the sewer was egg-shaped where we tied on at the sidewalk. We did not go all the way to the main.
-
We were referred to the homeowner from a high school friend.
