Mansfield's older sewer laterals
Pre-1980 housing here is 75%, above the Ohio figure of 64%. That ranks 12th highest of the 49 Ohio cities we profile. Clay pipe lets roots in at the joints, cast iron scales and cracks, and the line from the house to the street belongs to the homeowner in most places.
70% of homes are detached houses with their own lateral, so a backup that keeps coming back is usually worth a camera inspection rather than another snaking.
In Ohio: Older homes in Ohio's cities have cast iron and clay sewers, galvanized supply lines and some lead service lines.
Permits
Excavation in the yard or street needs a permit, and someone has to call 811 first to get utilities marked.
