Hi everyone,
I am doing a knock down and rebuild and arranging the demolition. We have requested gas and electricity abolishment as I believe this is needed prior to demolition.
The existing house is on a slab and we will be building on a slab. The question I have is that some demolition companies state they will cut and cap the sewer and others don't mention it. Most people seem to recommend this on the forums but I spoke with a builder mate yesterday and he said that the demolition company will rip up the sewer so why cap it?
What is the reason for capping it when it is ripped up, where would it be capped?
My mate also did not hire a toilet but tapped directly into his sewer pipe and put a little shed and toilet inside it and plumbed a water line to it. This seemed a good idea to save toilet hire costs if the build is going to take a long time.
Can you please let me know your thoughts on the above.
Thanks.
