Answer:
Sewer problem.
Explanation:
Sewer problems on a house sewer can be confusing for the typical property owner. Problems can be both misunderstood and misdiagnosed. But more importantly, incorrect advice can be given on how to correct the defect. An incorrect diagnosis can result in unnecessary excavation work, and failing to correct the actual sewer problem. Thousands of dollars can be unnecessarily wasted when sewer problems are not handled correctly.house-sewer-line…frmation

Roots from trees or shrubs growing into a sewer pipe are the most common of the different sewer problems a homeowner will face. This usually happens with clay sewer pipe, as extra heavy cast iron pipe is much less susceptible to root infiltration. The process for joining cast iron soil pipe is far superior to that of vitrified clay pipe. Having water tight joints is usually enough to prevent root infiltration.
When roots do get inside a pipe they usually grow in at a number of points, not just one spot. Unfortunately, if neglected the hair like roots that initially grow in will develop into much larger roots. As roots grow larger they will then eventually break the pipe. Once fully blocking the pipe, it is very hard and costly to attempt to cut roots out, or to treat your sewer line with chemicals.
Remedies for roots in your sewer line
To give a chemical treatment to the house drain would require at least some flow of water inside the pipe, it cannot be fully blocked. If copper sulfite crystals (or a similar compound or product) are used at the initial signs of root infiltration, costly cleanings and sewer repairs can be avoided or greatly postponed.

If roots have completely blocked a house sewer, and have been neglected for a long period of time, the only recourse may be to replace the entire sewer line. As stated previously roots typically enter an underground drain line in multiple places. In some cases, extensive water jetting with a specialized head can cut out roots. But if your house sewer is defective, the roots will grow back in again. In many cases replacing only one section of your sewer line can end up being only a short-term fix. An improper spot repair can be a great waste of money, and not a permanent solution. However, in many cases a spot repair, coupled with high pressure water jetting, can provide a relatively long-term solution.
