How this tool works
Much of South Gate was built between the 1920s and the 1950s, and many of those homes still drain through clay or cast-iron sewer laterals. Clay joints let roots in, and cast iron corrodes and scales inside. Big parkway and yard trees push roots toward the water in the pipe.
When the lateral blocks, sewage comes up the lowest drain in the house. That is Category 3 water, and porous materials it touches get removed, not dried. A camera inspection by a plumber is the only way to see the pipe; this check just ranks the warning signs.
