Tree Root Infiltration
If your sewer line is located near a tree, then it is probable that tree roots will invade your pipes. This is actually one of the most common causes of sewer line clogging. Tree roots can enter the pipes through cracks and breaks in the pipe, or through the joints that connect the different sections of the pipes.
Shifting Soil
Shifting soil, or otherwise called expansive soil, is another cause of a damaged sewer. In this case, the ground shifts of settles, and the pipes move along with it. As they move, they become misaligned and sink lower than the rest. Aside from this, the movement may also loosen the joints that connect the various sections of the pipes and thereby causing waste water to leak out of the sewer line.
Grease Build-up
Your University Place drains and sewer lines are connected, which is why whatever you flush down your drains will eventually end up in your sewer lines. Thus, it is not uncommon for grease to accumulate and buildup. The grease will stick to the walls of the pipes and cause all other debris that passes to your sewer pipes to stick to the walls and form a large gunk that will soon clog your sewer pipes.
