What's wrong with these drains?

[Mandelon]

I had a customer who wanted to have their yard drainage worked on. He said they weren't draining any more.

We dug em up. I think we figured it out!

Any advice on how to prevent that?

I got a good one. I need to take a picture.

A tree I just removed had a root growing under mine and the neighbors water main. It pushed both up as it grew.

I just cut the root with a sawzall.
