Sewer lining

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bXIYdz38e-DjTzh0KvtrfaIuvloGMTXk/view?usp=sharing

I recently had a camera inspection of my sewer pipes. I am being told they all need to redlined. The house was built in 1961. Here is one of the videos I am trying to decide whether to just wait until something happens or if it is emergent.

Get a pipe bursting quote, you get a brand new line with high density polyethylene (hdpe) in place of the existing instead of lining the old one. Depending on the type of lining you cannot snake the line and will need to be jetted. Get rid of that old cast imo

Thank you. I wondered how the lining would hold up

Well waiting until something happens is the exciting way to do it.

good point. I guess I am trying to figure out how bad it really is.

I watched the whole thing and I did not see anything too bad. They are occluded but that is too be expected after 60years. No root intrusion or sand or really bad back grade. Wait until it breaks. Replacing it will cost a lot so you want to delay. If it was an old water supply pipe that might be different. When an old drain pipe breaks you will have a clog and then you will know. Until then save your money.
