Insurance will likely not pay for the repair to the pipe as most policies exclude coverage for Normal wear & tear. Most sewer lines fail due to collapsing, cracking etc, so you are out of luck. Kinda like if your roof shingles simply wears out, no sudden event, just time. If you have a water/sewer back up endorsement the company will pay the repairs and loss to the basement from the water / sewer but not the pipe. I hope this helps, I have been an adjuster for 20 years and homeowners insurance was never meant to cover normal expenses like new roofs, pipes etc, that is part of the price of being a homeowner. It is true that insurance does not cover wear and tear, and I've read that things like tree roots growing in your pipes (along with cracks, etc) are not covered. On the other hand, if you say it's paper, or other objects that caused the backup then the damage caused by the pipe should be covered. It's all in how you present the claim. You'll have to pay to repair the pipe yourself.
