Groton climate
by the numbers
Groton's unique plumbing challenges
About 140 nights a year below freezing, when uninsulated crawlspace lines give out
The oldest blocks in town run plumbing decades older than the newer builds toward Summerhill
First frost typically lands around October 18
Seasonal timing
Because roughly 140 nights a year fall below freezing, snowmelt and a partly blocked lateral tend to arrive at the same time. Lines running toward Dryden sit under the same mix of soil and trees.

It depends on your policy and on what caused the backup, so contact your insurance provider to confirm what you carry. Backup coverage is often a separate endorsement rather than part of the base policy. Documenting the damage and keeping the plumber's findings helps whatever the answer turns out to be.
A camera inspection of the lateral is one of the few checks that reliably turns up an expensive surprise, and standard home inspections generally don't include it. It matters most on older properties with mature trees near the line. Ask for the recording, not just a verbal summary.
Not always. Roots travel much farther than most owners expect, so the culprit is often a street tree or a neighbor's tree rather than anything on the property. That matters because removing your own tree may not solve anything if the intrusion is coming from elsewhere.
Not usually. Cutting roots restores flow but leaves the crack or open joint they came through, so growth returns. A plumber can tell you whether the pipe is sound enough for a liner or whether the section needs replacing, and that decision depends on what the camera shows about the pipe wall.
