Water Line Break

Well, what an exiciting few days we have had! The main line coming into the house is leaking a massive amount of water through the foundation, on the basement floor and into the drain. We found out the leak is right up next to the house. After much confusion about what method to use to get this fixed we are going to try to "pull the line" into the house instead of excavating the entire yard. This will hopefully save our big tree in our front yard and avoid having to dig up the entire front yard.

Matt started digging up a bunch of the landscaping trying to save my perinnels. While he was doing that he found the leak...there is a huge sink hole right up next to the house. Thank goodness he wasn't standing there when it gave in!

We have been dealing with this since Friday and know exacting when it will be fixed, but it should be by the end of the week. Until then we have a "key" to shut the water on and off at the street, but we are really trying not to even use it at all. I am terrified that the line is going to totally bust and then what would happen to our foundation!

We are hoping for the best and very sad about how much this all going to cost!
