I know very little about oak trees--is there any concern of the roots piercing or interfering with the tank or drainfield?

thank you for your reply Bob, yeah the original main valve at the curb will be null because is seating next to a tree that the roots rapped around through out the years and can't get to it.

Getting off the soap box now and opening the floor for discussion and rebuttal...Regards,Scott Miller

I should further clarify that my opinions are deeply rooted in commercial real estate trends/markets and that they might not convert well in the residential rental market business model.Regards,Scott Miller

Ive fixed plumbing problems in my rental units from main drain clog, froze/busted pipes to broken mains inside and out root infiltration you name it. call roto rooter get a sewer camera inspection and find out whats wrong it may be a busted elbow this may be cheap to fix now if you have crushed main's some plumbing contractors offer a pipe bursting or pipe relining service and its done with hydraulics they don't even have to dig your soil up they inject a liner in your pipe with pressure guarantee 50 years also try rotorooter,com p.s i had this same exact problem sewage coming out under kitchen i ripped up the floor dug around the pipe then called my plumber to fix it cost me less than a thousand bucks

It is a deragatory term that probably has it roots in a low income areas.

I believe I have some deep rooted thoughts about myself that have to be changed.

Or they can just be the standard root beer in your case, I like you humor and I hope to see you posting around in the near future.

I am rooting for the Indians.

Of the many things I've learned over the years, the lesson from the GC company is still the most fresh for me, and that is, the ones who ultimately have control of thier profits are the ones that control the property, which is precisely why I'm going back to my REI roots.
