Tree roots usually get into sewer lines through tiny cracks or loose joints in older pipes. Once they sense moisture and nutrients, they slowly grow inside and expand, which can eventually cause serious blockages. I was reading about common plumbing issues in Amarillo homes and it seems like shifting soil and aging clay pipes make this even more common in that area. Regular inspections can really help catch it before it turns into a bigger repair.
