What you're paying for
Sewer lateral problems hit older homes hardest. Anything pre-1970 in most U.S. cities still has either clay-tile or Orangeburg laterals from the original build. Both fail. Tile cracks at the joints; Orangeburg collapses under load.
Diagnosis order: cable first, then camera. Cable clears most active blockages. The camera shows you what's actually happening down there — joint offsets, root invasion, bellies, broken sections.
Repair options depend on the lateral. Spot repair on a single broken section: $3,200–$6,500. Trenchless pipe burst on the full lateral (replaces clay or cast iron with new HDPE): $6,500–$14,000. Open-trench replacement: rare anymore, only when trenchless isn't feasible.
Permit is almost always required. Municipal sewer authorities want to inspect lateral work before backfill. We pull the permit and coordinate the inspection.

Climate and housing age in Dallas tend to drive specific failure patterns. We see the same handful of issues every season.
That said, newer construction in Dallas has its own set of typical issues. We see both.
