    Sewer Line Repair Question

    Hello, We just had a sewer line repaired today. We have a little bit of pooled water in the crawlspace because of the issue. How long will it take for the pooling to subside? It's also winter, and the ground with the added break in the line, has made the ground quite saturated.
