I've owned this house for just over a year and I'm slowly trying to correct the hackwork left behind from the previous owner.
The house is one floor built on a slab (in FL). At some point, there was a slab leak, so the house was replumbed with CPVC through the attic. It's a mess and clearly was not done by a plumber.
Lots needs to be addressed but most pressing is a CPVC supply that crosses the attic and exits the soffit to the exterior of the house. There is a huge bow in the CPVC as it exits the soffit and it's a failure waiting to happen. This line supplies a homemade (hackwork) irrigation system, two hose spigots and a drip irrigation system. This line bypasses the water softener.
I want to tap into the main (it's PVC) just at it exits the meter and bring a buried 3/4" Sch 40 PVC supply around to the spigots/manifold. The meter is on the other side of a concrete driveway. I've found a guy who does contract work for the local utilities and has a "missile bore" so we can get the new PVC supply under the driveway.
It seems straight forward but before we start digging, I want to make sure there is nothing I'm overlooking.
All constructive comments are appreciated.
TIA.
