Longmont homes and their sewer lines
The neighborhoods around Main Street and the historic east side have homes from the late 1800s through the 1940s, many with clay sewer laterals and big trees. The city grew steadily from the 1960s onward, with ranches and split-levels, and since the 1990s with larger subdivisions on the edges.
The St. Vrain River flood in 2013 affected neighborhoods along the river, and some older sewer laterals there carry damage that a camera inspection can reveal.
Longmont drain patterns
Roots in clay laterals drive most repeat main line backups in the older core. In newer homes, kitchen grease and wipes are more common. Longmont's open, windy winters are hard on drains in garages, bonus rooms and exterior walls, and on furnace condensate lines. See frozen drain lines in Longmont.

Could the 2013 flood have damaged my sewer line?+
Possibly, if you're near the river corridor. A camera inspection can show silt, offsets or cracks.
