Is this normal? My neighborhood in Tennessee was over 70 years old and we did not have similar issues. Maybe it is just reported in the local newspaper more often but I really don't know. My gut says it is due to substandard building practices but I have no information to back that up.

I'd like to hear the thoughts of others with some experience in this arena.

St Catherine is going through a huge revamping of its sewage lines right now. Our village is not quite 5 years old! The infrastructure is junk. We have roads torn up, blacktop patches in several spots, cones and fences here all around and you can’t even get to Sawgrass without hitting detours.
