| | Sanitary Sewers < on 8/24/2006 6:50 PM >
| | | I have a manhole in my new backyard. However, it may be a sanitary sewer. Is there any way to tell from the outside before I pop it? All it says is S, which could mean any kind of sewer. I submit, for your consideration, my manhole. (Stop laughing.)

| | | Pop it and see, it's not like you can't close it afterwards. Around here most drains are labeled. If you have a sewer connection, you could check to see if it heads towards the drain.

I think that's more the other way around. If it smells earthy it's a storm drain. If it smells like teh poops, it's a sewer. You should be able to tell pretty quick by opening it.

Really? I had heard that if it smelled earthy it was a sanitary sewer. I ask because we popped a manhole once and an overwhelming smell like decomposing leaves poured out along with a ton of heat, but it was dark and I was having troubles with the light, so I didn't get a chance to look in before dropping the cover. Would that be worth checking out, in your opinion?

| | | A ton of heat? Was this downtown or something? What time of the year was it? Most sewer covers WILL say "Sanitary Sewer" in some manner on the cover. If there was that warm of air coming out it was either sewer, or possibly a steam tunnel. Easiest thing to do is just pop the cover and look down with a flashlight. Speaking of drains though, city workers have been doing an INSANE amount of maintainence on the storm drains around my house. They were just down inside one with a jackhammer when I was home for lunch today. Hmmm....

| | | It indeed smells earthy, but it's the familiar storm drain earthy, not the tube-full -of-crap earthy. I'll have to pop it sometime...as soon as I find my prybar. Don't moving suck?

My house is on the rim of a shallow valley, so if it was a sanitary, then it probably comes directly out of the houses. Fresh 'n' Tasty!

| | | You'll likely be disappointed. There is likely a ladder that goes down, but on the bottom, the drainage is probably 8-12" around.

Happy to. I'll probably do it tomorrow when it's warmer and I can find the necessary tools.
Also, do you live in a rural or urban area? |
I live in the Philly burbs, specifically, Tredyffrin.

| | | I always thought sewers smelled kinda sickly sweet. But that's usually froma distance and depends on the flow and depth, also if you disturb it or not. Just remember shit flows downhill and never lick your fingers. That's all the advice one should need. When in doubt, a case of beer will help. The alcohol will sterilize the situation......or just make you care less about walking in poop.

| | | It is, indeed, a storm drain. There's about two feet of square brick with a channel in the center. What were you expecting, CHUDs?

| | | I once popped a sewer manhole, there were actually two manholes: one leading to a "manhole chamber", which was just a dark concrete . . . um . . . chamber, and then one at the bottom of that leading to the sewer. We could hear a flush upstream and then see the turds get pushed down It was pretty nasty, unpleasantly warm. It didn't smell like poop, it smelled more like detergent really. The sewage was confined to a trough at the bottom. If the tunnel was larger, I would definately have explored it because it was nice and old-looking (stone).
