Two days later, the excavation began. When the workers uncovered the sewer line, we discovered that the damage was worse than the camera had initially suggested. Fine roots had spread around several pipe joints, while one section had partially collapsed.
Our neighbor, who had lived beside us for twenty years, came over to watch. He mentioned that the previous owners had complained about occasional drainage problems. Suddenly, everything made sense. This wasn’t a new problem caused by our maple tree alone. It was an old plumbing issue that nobody had properly investigated.
