Sewer Pipes and Gas Lines Collide Underground
Typically, sewer pipes and gas lines are installed underground, requiring plumbers and gas companies to exercise caution to prevent damaging one another’s systems or hindering their proper functioning. In this instance, a homeowner faced a troubling situation when the gas company installed a gas line that cut through the sewer pipe beneath their home, cracking it and disrupting its vital operation.
The issue only came to light when the homeowner dug deep into the soil, uncovering the alarming intersection of the pipes. This incident underscores the importance of careful planning and coordination between utility providers to avoid potentially disastrous consequences.
