I would bet they are the older clay drain lines.  It isn't unusual for roots to 
break through the pipes, and eventually they will need replacing.  I've heard 
all kinds of home remedies if you will for keeping drain lines open but can't 
vouch for any of them.

  Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Roots In Water Line


    
  Hi All,

  I have a co-worker that had to have some water lines coming in to her home
  repaired because of roots growing in to the water lines. They had a friend
  to tell her that if you pour a box of salt down the drain every month, this
  will prevent this from happening. Has anyone ever heard of this? Thanks in
  advance!
