Sewer pipes usually last decades before collapsing or shifting but with trees on the sidewalks and front lawn, the chances of a sewer line getting messed up rise a little bit. The sewer line is usually ignored by home owners until there is a problem. This is almost like driving a car without changing the engine oil until the car asks for an oil change. This can only go on for a certain period of time, but when the car gets old timely oil change becomes more important.
Same with the sewer lines, as the sewer pipe gets old it needs constant and timely attention. You need to do this especially if you have tree root problem. For old pipes, it is not only tree roots that cause trouble, over the years water running through the sewer line erodes the sewer line and dirt starts to fill up in the sewer line. This is not a problem obviously, until the sewer gets clogged and the home owner has to change the sewer line.
Home owners have an option to find out the health of their sewer line. Sewer cameras have been around for a while, many municipalities use robotic sewer cameras to inspect the city and county sewer system.
If you are having constant back ups due to roots or muck stoppages, you might want to consider a camera inspection for your sewer line. This will eliminate the guess work and you will see exactly what is in your pipe and how your sewer pipe looks from inside. Here are a few videos of camera inspections we performed recently. Some camera inspections were requested by the customers and others were recommended by our technicians.
