Default Trenchless sewer lateral replacement - Impeded by heavy rains?

Late yesterday afternoon I faxed my signed bid to the company who first
bid on the job. Good references, by far the best price. Plus they
actually ran a camera through the existing line and didn't charge me a
cent. The other guys made their bids on the basis of inspection from
above, only.

Yesterday afternoon, when I faxed the bid, it was dry, but it rained
something fierce overnight. There had been relatively little rain here
until last night. Now the ground is going to be saturated. They have to
dig at least 4 holes to get down to the existing clay lateral for
connections and access to do the trenchless.

What affect does the rain have on all this? Thanks for your answers.


Would seem to make much more sense to ask them...
