Ever paid to have a "clean-out" entrenched outside?
Have you ever paid to have a "clean-out" entrenched outside?
It's going to involve an excavator & I am quite scared about the bill.
I bought a great rental property except that is has roots in the plumbing/sewer lines.
Thoughts on "clean outs" (which allow Roto Rooter good access to chop out the roots)?

Hey Brian, actually last year I had to have a clean out installed. The basement continued to take on water during heavy rains. Roto Rooter rodded all the way to the street to no avail. We then put a camera in to see what the problem was. It was way to dark to see anything noticeably. So I resulted to installing a clean out. I ended up shoveling out $1100 for everything, rod included. That ultimately done the trick, I have not had any calls from that tenant about water as of yet.
Nice Investing
