Scale, roots at the joints, a belly holding water or an offset from ground movement: what camera footage of an older Redlands sewer lateral shows, and what it means.

A drain that clogs again weeks after it was cleared has a cause that stayed put. Grease, roots or a belly, what to tell the shop, and when a camera is worth it.

A second pinhole leak in another room usually means the whole line is wearing thin. How hard water ages piping and the signs a repipe is coming.

A water meter check you can do yourself before calling about a slab leak, plus warm floors, running-water sounds, and how the shop pins the spot before cutting.

Matching the old tank is a guess. Size a replacement water heater by who lives there and the busy hour, and plan for hard water sediment, venting and gas checks.
