Why sewer line repair comes up in Wilmington

Old laterals downtown crack and settle in sandy soil.

Wilmington's median home was built in 1990 and 39% 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.
