Signs Tree Roots Are Invading Your Sewer Line
Slow Drains Throughout the House
When several drains run slowly at the same time, roots may be choking your main sewer line.
Gurgling Sounds from Drains or Toilets
Bubbling or gurgling when you flush or run water often means roots are trapping air and wastewater in the line.
Sewage Backing Up
Wastewater surfacing in floor drains, tubs, or toilets is a classic sign of a root-blocked sewer line.
Clogs That Keep Coming Back
If drains clog again soon after being cleared, roots growing back into the pipe are a likely culprit.
Soggy or Lush Spots in the Yard
Unusually green or soggy patches above your sewer line can mean roots are feeding on moisture leaking from the pipe.
Our Tree Root Removal Process
01
Camera Inspection to Locate Roots
We run a sewer camera through your line to find exactly where roots have invaded and how severe the blockage is.
02
Cutting the Roots
Using professional root-cutting equipment, we cut through the root mass and pull it out of your sewer line.
03
Flushing the Line
We flush the line to wash away root debris and restore full, free flow.
04
Final Camera Check
We run the camera through once more to confirm the roots are gone — and show you the clear pipe on screen.
How Tree Roots Invade Sewer Lines
Roots Target Clay Tile Joints
Older clay tile sewer lines have joints every few feet. Tiny roots find these joints and grow into the pipe seeking water and nutrients.
Cast Iron Lines Corrode and Crack
Aging cast iron pipes corrode from the inside out, creating rough spots and cracks where roots can take hold.
Small Cracks Become Major Blockages
Once inside, roots grow into a dense mass that catches waste and paper until the line is fully blocked.
Mature Trees Near Your Sewer Line
Large trees within 30 feet of your sewer line are the most common source of root intrusion.
Shifting Soil Opens Pipe Joints
Freeze-thaw cycles and shifting soil can separate pipe joints, giving roots an easy entry point.
