Plumbing / I bought Logstor pipe and this is one of the big reasons why.

This is a picture of a basement drain that I installed 3 years ago. The line is about 25' from a row of poplar trees, using unpreforated Big O tile and buried about 4 to 5' deep. We noticed in the last few months that the backup sump pump was turning on once in awhile. I just assumed we had been getting a lot of rain because it was only turning on for a few minutes at a time. I was installing my owb line and decided to run a drain line to this tile. I dug in the new line and then when digging to find the old one all of a sudden I had a fountain of water shooting up. Did some digging and found the problem, well not just one problem but one at every single tree. Even found some roots in a really old (40 years old) tile that was 60' from any trees. This is the same type of pipe that a lot of the wrap guys use. Not supposed to have any holes but they are there and enough for a root to get started. This root was in a hole that was smaller than 1/4".
