Buried p-trap and pipe lifting device and method

Abstract

An underground pipe in-situ relocation mechanism including a casement pipe, a lifting member and a lifting member moving device. The casement pipe, having upper and lower ends, is insertable into the soil of the ground alongside of the underground pipe. The lifting member being insertable into the casement pipe, the lifting member having a lifting arm pivotally coupled to an end of the lifting member. The lifting member moving device positioned on the upper end of the casement pipe and coupled to an end of the lifting member opposite the lifting arm. The lifting member moving device being configured to move the lifting member relative to the casement pipe to secure the lifting arm against a bottom of the casement pipe after the lifting arm is extended beyond the lower end of the casement pipe and the lifting arm has pivoted from an aligned position in the casement pipe.
