TECHS TIP OF THE WEEK: AROUND HERE, THE DIRT IS THE PROBLEM
Texas clay swells when it's wet and shrinks when it's dry, and your house moves with it. That seasonal shifting is why so many sewer lines in the Metroplex end up cracked, separated at a joint, or bellied — it's not that the pipe failed, it's that the ground under it kept moving.
What to watch for: drains that got slower over a season rather than overnight, more than one fixture backing up at the same time, or a patch of yard that stays soft when everything else is dry.
Best thing you can do is keep the soil moisture around your foundation steady — water the perimeter during dry stretches instead of letting it bake. It's good for the foundation and it's good for the line underneath it.
