Replacement of terra cotta pipes due to tree root damage
When we noticed our basement drains backing up and flooding a little we called ExpressRooter as we had used them previously in replacing a toilet stack.
During the initial appointment the technician snaked the basement line with a camera and discovered backup due to tree roots growing into the pipes. He was very straight forward with us from the beginning letting us know that the visibility wasn't great and that they wouldn't know how far the damage went without opening the ground.
They ended up needing to replace more of the piping than we anticipated, but now that the pipes are all plastic with a lifetime warrantee we never need to worry about roots invading again.
It was an unexpected cost that was definitely hard to swallow, but the quick way it was dealt with definitely helped.
