Test Repair and Backfill Trench
At 0:57 in
Did you catch this weeks vlog?! Mayhem ensued. But luckily we got it patched up pretty quick!
What happens here
Once the new pipe section and fittings are securely installed, the main water supply is reactivated (implied, as the water is seen flowing normally at the end of the repair). The repaired section is carefully inspected for any leaks to ensure the connection is watertight. After confirming the success of the repair, the excavated soil is returned to the trench, burying the pipe and restoring the ground to its original state, making it look 'like it never happened.'
Goal: After the repair, the main water supply is reactivated to check for leaks, and once confirmed watertight, the trench is backfilled with soil.
