I have a house in town which was built in 1975. In 1986 the plastic waterline got brittle and I had to replace it. The waterline was near the sewer line. I remember some 29 years ago that the PVC plastic sewer line got cracked on top by the backhoe bucket. It didn't cut a hole, just a crack or split. The backhoe guy I had hired saddled a half piece of PVC plastic the same size as the sewer line over it and said it would never be a problem. Now the sewer line is easily in the weep line of a 33 year old soft maple tree. I am pretty positive roots have gotten in. It seems like I have had some success keeping it operating with some "main line sewer cleaners", but the problem always comes back eventually. Might be a month or might be six months. I can dig it up, but was just wondering if there was an easier remedy that might work. How does salt work??? Copper sulfate??? Had a plumber run the "power sewer cutter" down it in January. Problem is back. Thanks for your ideas.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
