A sewer tap destroy, also known as a sewer tap abandonment or lateral disconnect, is the process of permanently removing or sealing off the connection between a property’s private sewer line and the city’s main sewer line. This is typically done when a building is demolished, a property no longer uses sewer service, or an old connection is being replaced. The work involves digging down to the connection point, cutting or removing the line, and securely sealing the opening in the main sewer to prevent leaks, contamination, or debris from entering the system. This process helps maintain the safety and integrity of the public sewer system and ensures compliance with local regulations. At Barth Company Sewer & Water, we have the experience, equipment, and expertise to handle sewer tap-destroy projects safely and efficiently, ensuring all work is completed to code and with minimal disruption.
