Why sewer line repair comes up in Lafayette

Older laterals crack and settle in wet clay soil.

Lafayette's median home was built in 1981 and 48% 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.
