Considering the house was 50 years old, the septic tank was in surprisingly good condition - another testement to the quality of materials and workmanship of the past. Even the clay underground pipes were intact. However, due to the expanded footprint of the new house design, the underground sewage pipes had to be re-routed and replaced.

Pic 10: The pipe at the corner manhole was laid at a 45 degree angle instead of 90 degrees in order to ensure a smoother flow.
Pic 14: Some of the sedimentation that was found at the bottom of the tanks.
The conditions of the water tanks, however, were very bad. Both tanks showed advanced stages of rust and considerable amount of sedimentation.
