No, my house is nearly 100 years old

apparently the previous homeowner had some problems too with big old trees surrounding the house, the roots started growing around and into the pipes

Time to get the rooter out. We have the same problem in my area. There's a guy who's business model is only unclogging drains and pipes. He makes a killing. I had it done last year, so I'm going to rent a rotor rooter in the spring to root out my sewer lines.

The thing about roots is they grow back, and they are attracted to moisture. It's a constant problem that you have to deal with, but I would rather deal with that than have no trees, no shade, and way too hot pavement.

Nah we very much appreciate having a big ass tree in our front yard in the summer. Its possibly the tallest tree in the whole neighborhood

especially because its all apartments across from us so the branches and leaves give some privacy from their prying eyes

Same exact thing happened to us with our house. Now we have a reminder set to have someone out to check and clear the lines every three or so years to keep this from happening again

When I was a child we had a storm cause like a foot of sewer water in the basement, it was so disgusting

thankfully this was just a comparatively little bit in the back room

My house is 100yo, have 1 big tree like 20 ft from the house.

I've been having water issues lately, I guess I shouldn't rule out the tree if the lines run that way.

i have a 1inch drain snake for basic stuff. Big drain augers are $300 plus anyway and then I have to clean it and store it somewhere. Rather just pay someone to do it for me

I believe that Home Depot has a rental program where you can rent equipment you may need for a job. Could always see if you can rent an auger with a 100' clearance on it so you can drill out to the sewer.

My whole apartment building repeatedly backed up into my bathtub over the summer because fucking morons keep flushing those "flushable" wet wipes. Now the management has the plumber out every 6 weeks or so to clear the pipe, and I know the warning signs of a near-clog so I can call it in a few days before it starts backing up if it happens between visits.

I don't know who bribed who to get those damn things approved, but they need something truly unpleasant to happen to them.

Most would be surprised at what equipment you can rent from your local Home Depot or Lowes. I like to rent one of their industrial steam cleaners once a year for our rugs and carpets. Runs me ~$40.
