Plumbing Root Removal

How Tree Roots Affect Your Plumbing

As roots grow, they naturally seek out sources of water. Cracks in your plumbing system, often too small to notice, can become the perfect entry point. Once inside, roots begin to clog pipes, restricting water flow and even causing full blockages. Tree roots can also cause serious damage to the pipes themselves, leading to leaks or complete breaks in the system. A minor root problem can quickly escalate into a plumbing emergency if not dealt with promptly.

Early Signs of Root Problems in Your Plumbing

It’s important to keep an eye on your plumbing system, as early warning signs can often be overlooked. Slow-draining sinks, toilets, or bathtubs are common indicators of root infiltration. If you notice foul smells, bubbling water, or gurgling sounds, these could be signs that roots are obstructing your pipes. While these may seem like minor issues, they could lead to bigger problems down the road if not addressed. Drain It Plumbing uses advanced techniques to quickly identify and tackle root blockages, saving you from more extensive damage.

Effective Root Removal Methods

Drain It Plumbing employs a variety of effective methods to eliminate tree roots and restore your pipes to full functionality. Hydro-jetting is one of the most efficient techniques, using high-pressure water to blast away roots without damaging the pipes. For stubborn roots, root cutters are employed to physically remove obstructions and clear the path. After the removal process, Drain It Plumbing conducts a thorough inspection of your plumbing to ensure that no further issues remain and that your system operates as it should.
