Tree roots are able to grow into sewer lines and cause collapsed drain and blockage. When sewer drain lines are impacted by tree roots, the drain can be damaged or destroyed.
Without proper maintenance and care of your drain system, you could be facing serious problems that will need to be fixed immediately before they become more expensive.
– A drain pipe that has been penetrated by roots cannot be patched or repaired, as these trees will just continue to grow larger and push through those repairs.
– Once a drain is blocked with roots it cannot be repaired permanently without physically removing and replacing the pipe.
– The sewer line root removal process involves cutting away all roots from around the pipe, and then cleaning out all debris left behind so it will not cause a clog or backup in the drain.
When you want to remove the tree roots from sewer lines, it is a better way to find a professional plumber to make it, because the whole process needs technique and experience.
– Camera Inspection: A drain camera inspection will confirm the integrity of your drain and allow you to see exactly what is happening inside.
– Tree Roots Removal: Using special equipment, we can clear tree roots away from sewer lines without damaging the pipe so they do not grow back quickly.
– Sewer Line Repair: We offer a range of sewer line repair services that permanently fix damage caused by root intrusion in most cases.
– Drain Repair: If drain is broken or collapsed, the permanent solution will be removal and replacement of that section of the pipe. However, we can use mechanical machinery to clean out the drain pipe and then repair it with special epoxy that will hold up against roots.
– Once the drain is clear, you will need to have it inspected again before placing any chemicals or drain cleaners in your drain line. If there are no visible signs of damage and everything looks okay, then your drain should be fine to use.
Actually, the tree roots removal process does not guarantee success because if even one root remains intact then there is still risk for future blockages which can cause damages like flooding in your basement.
