    What Is Root Removal? A Vital First Step in Restoring Your Sewer Line

    Root removal involves clearing out tree roots that have entered or damaged your sewer or drain lines. These roots typically find their way in through tiny cracks or joints and expand inside the pipe, eventually causing blockages, backups, and even structural damage.

    We use specialized tools and methods such as mechanical cutting, hydro jetting, and CCTV-guided descaling to precisely locate and eliminate the root intrusion, setting the stage for a long-term solution like trenchless lining or epoxy coating.

    Root Removal Matters A Lot

    Tree roots won’t go away on their own, and over-the-counter drain cleaners won’t solve the problem. Professional removal ensures the issue is addressed at the source, protecting your pipes from further damage.

    Advantages include:

    • Fast relief from backups and clogs
    • Prevents pipe collapse from root pressure
    • Ideal prep step for trenchless pipe rehabilitation
    • Safer and longer-lasting than chemical treatments
    • Reduces risk of costly excavation later

    What Root Removal Helps Prevent

    Root intrusion is one of the most common causes of sewer line failure in older homes and commercial properties. If not handled correctly, roots can cause:

    • Complete sewer line blockages
    • Pipe bursts and structural failure
    • Recurring drain backups
    • Sewer odors or soggy patches in your yard
    • Expensive emergency repairs

    Telltale Signs Roots Are Damaging Your Pipes

    Watch out for these common indicators that it’s time for expert root removal:

    • Repeated clogs or backups in toilets or tubs
    • Gurgling sounds from drains
    • Strong sewage smells inside or outdoors
    • Slow drainage in multiple fixtures
    • Unusually green patches or sinkholes in the yard
