So this means that if, for instance, somebody has tree roots on

What makes you think a tree owner is in any way responsible
if his tree blocks a sewer? A tree root is not the slightest
bit interested in a sewer pipe, unless it's already broken.

So it couldn't possibly be the agent of damage, in the same way
that roots can lift pavements, damage walls etc?
