Cutting them back mechanically and then lining the pipe from the cleanout seals the joints without a trench, provided the host pipe still holds its shape. Foaming treatments buy time between visits. Neither approach helps once a section has collapsed, which is what the camera checks first.

It works until it does not. Each pass shaves the roots back but widens the opening they came through, so the intervals shorten and eventually the pipe itself gives way. Some owners accept that trade for a few years, but it should be a decision rather than a surprise.

The public system maintains the main and its own connections, and the run from your house to that point is private. That boundary catches people out. Ask the water office to state it plainly before you authorize any work in the right of way.

Not through the sewer line itself, since the two systems are separate and the supply is pressurized. What can happen is contamination during a backup inside the house, which is why standing sewage should be kept away from anything you drink or prepare food with until it has been cleaned properly.
