What needed attention
The main sewer line was stopped up, and root intrusion was identified as the obstruction.
What the crew did
The crew ran a chain-knocker cable through the line to break up and clear the root blockage. They then ran a large volume of water through the drain to check its flow.
Result and next steps
The sewer drained properly during the water test at the end of the visit. With root intrusion, a successful clearing confirms flow at that visit; it does not establish the long-term condition of the pipe.
