Plumber Question: Had a sewer line explode
I have an old (120+yrs) office building. 45 minutes ago the workers heard a large explosion in the basement that shook the building, then heard water blasting. They called the city to turn off the water then called me.

I went down in the basement and saw the shattered 4 inch sewer line. It blew it up the pipe and its' brackets. It collapsed the 30' run, snapped all the 2" lead in lines from sinks at their elbows, and snapped off the hot water heater supply line. All are PVC, installed within the last ~20 yrs.

There is 2 toilets, and 3 sinks. They said the toilet had been sluggish as of late. I looked at them a few months ago and could not find anything wrong. Last year I had a clog in the sewer line. Evidence of "wet wipes" was found. I got it all snaked out and fixed.

One bathroom is for the 18 employees. The other is for the general public. They get a fair amount of walk in traffic.

My guess is that there was a methane pocket built up and blew. But how? Magnesium and silver nitrate? The shattered part is 15' down from the toilets in the middle of a straight run. Could have it "floated" back up from the city side? It should be vented. At this time, I don't know if any other adjoining buildings have leaks in their basements.

In the end, I am glad it happened on a Friday afternoon and my plumber is fixing it now. If it happened over the weekend, the basement would be under water and have a large water bill.

Thoughts?

I'd burn the building to the ground and collect the insurance.

That's weird, you'd think it would have to have an ignition source. Maybe somebody took and dump and lit a match to burn of the stank.

You are correct sir. Lit cigarette down the toilet? Match? That is why I referenced magnesium and silver nitrate.

Dunno.

My first response was "holy sh#t?!".

Fun weekend...rats. Guess I need to go buy a large wet/dry vac. I don't think there is drain in the basement. Old building cement floor. I am glad it is not a dirt floor though. Many in town are.

Something doesn't sound right here. You need to call the sewer hazard inspection team.

Tell employees to stop eating tannerite muffins and nitroglycerin bagels. And maybe take smaller dumps?
