We tried to rod the sewer and our cable got stuck. This building was not very old and has all pvc sewer lines. These newer sewer lines are usually trouble free. We suspected a pipe was broken underground.

That is a serious root! How did this happen? Normally roots sneak in at the connection between pipe sections. This root didn’t start at a pipe connection. We found the outside cleanout installed during initial construction had been damaged and then covered up rather than repaired. This gave the tree a 6” opening to grow. And grow it did! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cf6086e57a6d00001eb7c00/1677877256529-T3TI98OI66MOCZGBR0KZ/20211103_173511653_iOS.jpg PHOTOS - Tree Root Removed Here is the root we pulled out of the sewer main line!
