Signs You Need Tree Root Infiltration Solutions
A tell-tale sign that trespassing tree roots are corroding your pipes is if you have a sink backup and a clogged toilet or tub drain at the same time. This is an obvious indicator that an obstacle is in your pipes.
Other signs to look for include:
- Bubbling noises: Bubbling or gurgling sounds are a clear way to tell if trees are interfering with your drain. This happens in older homes with deteriorating pipes, as roots thrive on moisture.
- Constant toilet clogs: Obstructions to your sewer line can cause toilet backups.
- Strange odors: Pungent odors in your home can be sewage leaking from a root infestation in your plumbing.
- Water pools: Leaks under the soil can show up as lush green patches or areas with standing puddles of water.
- Foundational cracks: Tree roots can become so big that they shift the landscape and uproot concrete and bricks.
Our Tree Root Infiltration Solutions
Chronic plumbing problems are a sign that tree roots might crack your pipes or become so embedded in them that they burst. Therefore, catching root growth early is crucial, as repairs are less expensive. In their advanced stages, pipes can collapse under the strain and cause flooding problems.
To alleviate this, our comprehensive tree root infiltration solutions include:
- Root cutting: For small infiltrations, our specialized cutting equipment can efficiently and safely remove tree roots without damaging the tree.
- Root barrier installation: Blocking the tree’s roots is another non-invasive way to prevent roots from infiltrating your pipes.
- Pipe repair: Repiping allows us to remove corroded sections of pipes and add sieves that are resistant to tree roots.
- Hydro jetting: High water pressure can clear roots and other debris in your pipes without damaging them.
- Trenchless pipe repair: A no-dig approach that keeps your yard intact while we repair sewer pipes.
