Many Council Bluffs neighborhoods have older clay or cast-iron sewer laterals that are prone to cracking, root intrusion, and joint separation over time. The City's Public Works Sewer Maintenance division maintains the public sewer mains, but the lateral line running from your house to the city main is the homeowner's responsibility — which is where a camera inspection from a local plumber makes the difference between guessing and knowing exactly what's wrong.
