Most older houses have clay sewer pipes. The connections that tie the pieces of clay pipe together do not fully seal and water from the sewer leaks out of the pipe into the ground. Tree roots sense this moisture and eventually find the sewer line. Once the tree roots find the clay pipe they grow through the connections and into the sewer. In time the roots will grow big enough to block the sewer, causing the sewer to fail. In most cases the roots can be temporarily cleared from the pipe, but the roots will always grow back and the sewer must be maintained in order to work properly. The only way to keep tree roots out of a clay sewer for good is to either replace or line the sewer. After your sewer has been replaced or lined then there is no more maintenance.
