Root-Season Tips for Royal Oak
Royal Oak's dense 1920s through 40s bungalows sit on original clay sewer laterals under a heavy tree canopy, so recurring backups are almost always roots. Get the lateral camera-inspected and ask to see the footage before approving a dig — the beautiful mature trees are exactly what's invading the pipe. Between backups, keep anything but waste and paper out of the line. On homes this age, a periodic camera check catches root intrusion while it's still a cleaning or lining job rather than a full replacement.
