Why sewer line repair comes up in Salem

Older neighborhoods have clay laterals that roots and soil movement break.

Salem's median home was built in 1982 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.
