The guide library
Everything here exists to make you a harder person to guess at. The guides cover spotting a failing line early, how lining, bursting, and excavation actually differ, what a legitimate camera diagnosis includes, and how to evaluate a replacement quote someone just handed you. There’s also the ownership fine print: who’s responsible for the lateral in Toledo, and what insurance typically does and doesn’t cover.
Read the one that matches where you’re standing. For quick answers instead of full guides, the FAQ page covers the questions that come up most.
