The story
What the customer called about
A clogged main sewer line, and not the first one.
What we found
We cleared the line with a machine and ran a camera through it. The line had multiple bellies (low spots where waste settles) and roots growing into it.
What we couldn't know until we opened it up
What was causing the constant clogs. Once we dug it up, we found couplings that hadn't been installed properly, which is where the roots got in, and poor backfill under the pipe, which caused the bellies.
The options we gave them
We cleared the line that day and offered to credit the cost of the clearing back if they went ahead with a replacement. We didn't recommend a spot repair, because the problems were in too many places.
What they chose, and why
Replace the entire line.

Photos from the job itself
Repeated main-line clogs at this 2002 Fuquay-Varina home came from a sewer line with several sags and roots growing in. We replaced the whole line from the house to the street cleanout and added a new cleanout by the house.
