Personally, I would have made a trip to city hall to see if there was a permit for sewer connection or a sewer bill in their system... or even sewer available on the street. It would also appear that the cleanout turns toward the street so not set up to clear the line inside the home. (my first thought) Not sure what they were thinking, other than a possible future connection to city sewer by changing the pipe slope inside.
Good point! I did check with the city and there was no legal sewer connection, and the former owner was getting no sewer bill. But if have seen it where the city did not know a connection was made. The county overseas septic here and there is also no septic permit on file for a septic system, although that is not that uncommon with older homes. All I can think to do at this point is run water with the septic tank open and see if it reaches the tank. But later found the pipe is disconnected so it needs plumbing work before the water test.
Why did the GC not have the sewer line re- plumbed before they replaced those joists and subfloor?? Would have been much easier to do with the floor opened up
I quite enjoyed this video. I'm also very curious about which waste disposal system is working, and what and where it is. That house and property are lovely, and have a ton '0 potential.
I might be looking at this from a perspective across the water 🇬🇧 but if I saw a street with plenty of houses on it like that, I'd be very surprised to find a septic in use. The sole exception might be in a house that's notably older than the rest of the area, where the first inhabitants would obviously have been required to make their own arrangements. 🚽💩🗑 Also: The piping in the cellar looks to me like something's been cut off of it at some point, possibly because of the fire. I can only watch in low resolution (Data prices here, y'all! 💸) but it doesn't look like it's been capped off...

Run a camera in it it's 2024!!!!!!
Hrs of digging with excavator would have bought a sewer camera.

Call the local water / sewer and ask. That would be first logical step
So much trashes all over there!
Wow I hated every second of that video start with cleaning how can you walk around in that filth how you going to do any decent work
Site looks like garbage, any neighbor can report them to code enforcement
with workers on site it's in progress so hard for the city to take any action.
