I m live Los Angeles
I have a full bath in the basement. Doing renovations there and the shower stall has rust/something coming up from the pipes. My h. thinks they can just put a snake down there and clean it out? Is this the case?

I know it could be roots but I refuse to tear a tree down. We get water through the city- can they help me with this- help- any plumbers out there??

Amazing what they can train snakes to do, Don't know about anyone else but the description seems a bit vague and not something easily solved without seeing the actual job. Best to get someone out to look. Good luck, hope you get it solved

If there are roots in there they will just cut up the roots. It won't hurt the tree. If you find that is your problem you will just have to have your line cleaned out every year or two. It isn't a big deal.

I have heard of Snakes on a Plane, but not snakes inside plumbing...wow
