Toilet and tub slow again, and there's a big oak out front?
Why it happens in Avondale Estates
By Census estimates the middle Avondale Estates home went up in 1966, with about 46% built before 1960, and about 82% of households own. Older houses here can have cast iron drains and clay laterals under mature trees. Roots find the clay joints, catch paper, and the toilet and tub slow down every few months.
What to try, and when to call us
A plunger won't touch it. A plumber's cable with a root cutter clears the line, and a camera shows how bad the joints are so you can plan ahead.

Basement drain backing up in a thunderstorm?
Why Avondale Estates homes see this
Storm water is the city's job, under its own storm sewer permit and Stormwater Master Plan. Storm drains and sanitary sewers are separate. Downspouts tied into a sewer cleanout send rain into the county system, and with about 51 inches of rain a year at Atlanta's airport, that can push sewage back up your basement drain.
When to stop and call
If you see a downspout running into a cleanout, have it re-routed to the yard.
