Questions about sewer & drain lines
Water leaking right now? Shut off your main valve first. Emergency guidance. (Tidewell is fictional; nobody is on call.)
Do you have to dig up my yard?
Not always. Many problems can be cleared or lined without excavation.
Can tree roots really break pipes?
Yes. Roots seek out moisture and can enter small cracks, then grow and cause blockages.
