Why sewer line repair comes up in Columbia

Older laterals in central neighborhoods crack and take in roots.

Columbia's median home was built in 1995 and 29% of homes predate 1980. Newer laterals are usually PVC or ABS, which resist roots far better than clay, so in newer areas sewer trouble more often comes from grease, wipes or a sag than from a broken pipe.
