Over time toilet paper and other debris can clog your sewer line as the pieces get snagged on tree roots that often infiltrate sewer pipes. Flushing sanitary products, feminine hygiene products, facial tissues, paper towels, or even extra-thick toilet paper can severely clog up your sewer line over time. It is best to avoid flushing anything down your toilet other than basic toilet paper to avoid unnecessary clogs or damage.

The main culprit of a collapsed sewer line is typically tree roots. Tree roots naturally seek out water so they are highly attracted to all of the moisture that exists within your sewer line. Unfortunately, these tree roots can end up growing into the actual pipe itself, and after decades of use, degrade the sewer pipe. Eventually, the sewer line can weaken to the point of completely collapsing.
