Can ginger roots break pipes?

SF Bay Area, CA(Zone 9b)

I have a small, approx. 2x2 area in the front of my home that is surrounded by cement. I want to plant a ginger there, but I'm worried about the pipes since that's where the water main comes into the house.

I was thinking about planting Hedychium "Elizabeth" there.. Is there any danger that this plant might break a PVC water pipe?

I've never had this happen and have never heard of anyone else having this experience. Hedychium x 'Elizabeth' is not an overly vigorous grower so I see no problem with it.
