When we were discussing options, I wondered if there was something similar to the tire sealant which seals from the inside. Will need to Google that. Thanks. Most likely a short term fix though.
They can line the pipes from the inside. It is expensive (”Cadillac” they told us) but a very good way to go. We have a lot of trees around, and they LOVE the sewer pipes of course. We use the RootX like our plumber suggested and have saved a lot of money on RotoRooter.
They were actually pumping in a concrete-type material that set afterwards; it was just as good as laying new pipe. Air pressure kept the sleeve inflated, then the sleeve was retracted as the last step. It went around a corner and everything.
