Salisbury is the Rowan County seat and has several historic districts full of homes from the 1800s and early 1900s. Houses this old often hide cast iron or clay sewer pipe under the yard. Big shade trees on those streets send roots into old pipe joints.
Salisbury-Rowan Utilities runs the city's water and sewer, so a problem at the public main is theirs. The line from your house to that main is usually yours. Knowing where the line splits helps you call the right party first.

Yes. Older homes often mix cast iron, clay, galvanized steel and plastic pipe. We plan the work to limit damage to plaster and old floors. If your home is in a local historic district, check with the city before any change to the outside, such as a new vent.
It depends where the blockage is. The utility handles the public main. The line from your house to the main is usually the homeowner's. If several homes on your street back up at once, call the utility first. If it is only your home, call a plumber.
Tree roots grow toward water. Older clay and cast iron sewer lines have joints that loosen over time, and roots slip in through the gaps. Once inside, they grow into a mat that catches waste. A camera inspection shows where the roots are and how bad it is.
