What To Do When Tree Roots Enter Your Sewer Lines

You may have learned to love your maple tree like family, by watching it grow strong over the years, but its roots could be damaging your sewer lines. Large trees have complex root systems that fill large volumes of earth and these root systems are a common cause of sewer line damage.

This is a common occurrence, as the roots of a tree will look for nutrients and moisture found in a sewer line. Whether you presently have a sewer line problem or you simply want to prevent such a problem, the best advice can be obtained from a sewer line repair specialist.

Sewer repair may be costly, including damage to your sewer lines, plumbing, water heater, and drain cleaning. A specialized sewer repair company has the technology and training necessary to pinpoint and resolve any problems with your sewer lines.

If you have plastic or concrete sewer lines, fiberglass reels, and video monitoring equipment may be necessary. This kind of job is best left to the professionals.

Many times, when damage is already done by tree roots, it might be necessary to dig down into the ground to fix the problem and repair the sewer. One alternative way of dealing with this problem is by power rodding. Power rodding is used to solve problems such as drains backing up, slow draining fixtures, and clogs in the home or sewer system.

Hydrojetting is done by using a high-pressure machine that will clean grease, debris, and sludge from sewer lines, and other drainage. This high pressure method will completely clean the lines. Most times, this is all that is needed to solve the problem.

Other types of treatments include the use of chemicals and methods to discourage the roots of the trees to return to the sewer lines in search of nutrients and water. In the long run though, regular preventative maintenance performed by a reputable and professional plumbing company can save you a lot of money by stopping problems before they start.
