The Chatt's have "roots!"

The Chatt's have strong roots and they are persistent! It is really not that big of a deal but not many get to see the video below. Our house on White Avenue Anna Maria City, Anna Maria Island continues to see roots in the sewer pipes. So far we replaced about a 20' section for our new pool. We ripped out the old cast iron pipes under the master bathroom. The section that we did not replace for the pool was just replaced July 2009 due to roots from trees! The video below from Lapensee helped them find and estimate the spot. Unfortunately, under the guest bath we have the old cast iron pipes still and that will require an overhaul due to cracks and degradation. Not to worry for our upcoming guests, we still have at least another year before we need to replace but there is no chance we will wait. Shooting for a guest bathroom remodel September of this year to ensure it is done and over with! For anyone wondering what the inside of a sewer pipe looks like, look below. It is pretty tough to miss our root ball.
