sewer's (house, property, contractor, neighbor)

[htrn2004]

Hi
The water in my bathroom can not drain easily, my house is 60 year old.
The sewer system out side the house was interrupt by "root tree".
I hired contractor to fix again and again...
I want to replace by new pipe, first how can I get the map of sewer system around the house to public sewer?
Please help me to get the map or the best wat to fix!
Thanks in advance.

Do not know your area...residental neighborhood or maybe in the outskirts/country. A close by neighbor would know if the city/town has a street sewer in front. A plumber would be able to follow the pipe from your house to a septic? if still there. You did not say how long you have lived in the house purchase/rental?. Purchase would have shown a septic tank or connection to the street sewer system before closure of escrow. The city/town would not have any plans on private property septic system. If the roots are that bad, they need to be removed and new pipes installed to whatever system you have or to fill septic and run pipe to connect to the city/town sewer system. Good luck.

If your already hooked up to the city sewer, it sounds like it, you would probably have to start digging. You are going to have to dig up the line to replace it. the best way to find it is start digging and follow it to the city hook up. a map will only maybe tell you where it is, digging it wil find it for sure. Also, if you dig and find it near a tree and or damaged in a spot, that may be the only place you need to replace.
there are drain companies that have cmeras they put intpo the system and track the lines and spot breaks or roots and mark where they are and fix those areas. Maybe worth a try.
Do you own this house? If not, call the LL.
