The cleanup and the lateral are two different ledgers, and keeping them separate is the whole answer. The backup event and its damage are handled under the claim conversation, usually through water backup coverage where it exists. The lateral itself, root entered and narrowed by six decades, is the owner's infrastructure, and its repair or lining is an owner investment priced from the camera footage. What the footage does for both ledgers is end the guessing: the claim file shows a sudden event, and the repair quote shows a measured defect at a measured distance. Households that camera the line after the first backup rarely have the second one.
