The sewer pipe had collapsed under the front yard

The sewer pipe had collapsed under the front yard and created a crater so large that the front sidewalk had fallen into it.

The yard was overgrown and filled with trash

1/4 acre of grounds, left untended for over a dozen years.

Both chimneys were severely damaged

Thieves had stolen all of the copper plumbing

In the process of stealing the pipes, they ripped out walls and ceilings

The house was filled with more than 10 tons of trash

We packed two of the largest size dumpsters

The basement stairs had collapsed

Here they are partially rebuilt
