Joseph Whitters, a second-generation sewer guy and the owner of  Drain Busters joins the show to talk about the importance of maintaining sewer systems for homes. Sometimes, trouble with a sewer system can turn into a major problem that may show itself quickly and can be due to a damaged pipe or some other issues. Thus, it is indeed important to make sure that there are no potential issues present in the sewer system.

The show starts off with Joe introducing himself and his company. He shares that his company specializes in drain cleaning and inspection services. He also shares that they don’t just inspect, but also educate clients about their pipe, what material it is made of, what the current condition is, when and how to maintain it, and tips and tricks to get people to move forward with a reliable sewer system. He also shares how long he and his company have been working side by side with Structure Tech.

Joe then begins to share some of the crazy sewer inspections he’s had and answers the following questions:

• What percentage of drain lines out of houses in Minneapolis and Saint Paul, that you personally encountered, are in good shape?
  
• What is the estimated cost for sewer lines that need repair?
  
• What are some of the things you've found in newer homes, like less than 10 years old? What tends to go wrong?
  
• After laying the pipe in the ground on properties that have heavy soil (like the subdivisions), is there shifting and moving around, or does it tend to be pretty stable?
  
• What is a sand rock sewer system?
  
• What's your take on “flushable” wipes?
  
• Which pipes are best according to the materials they are made from?
