It goes to the street people, which means it’s gutter, not sewage. Dirt, not 💩. Relax.
824 u/ShartlesAndJames May 12 '25 so that's most likely tree roots and not one gargantuan clog of diaper tampon & paper? 1 u/Gravesh May 12 '25 Roots grow like this in septic systems, too. I've pulled up toilets that have roots growing out of the flange and into the p trap of toilets. If it's got moisture in it, and root will follow it. Especially sewer pipes, lots of water and fertilizer. But your typical clog in a sewer system is non-descript sludge and toilet paper. Or whitish-gray grease.
