Leaky pipes or pipe condensation attract tree roots searching for hydration. Tree roots slip in through spots in tiny holes and cracks. The most common signs of tree root intrusions are sewage backup and slow-moving drains. We’ll determine the best solution for your tree root intrusion problems, including:
- HydroScrub® Jetting – Hydro scrubbing is a long-term solution that uses pressurized water jets to blast through clogs and clean out debris.
- Pipe Lining – Pipe lining involves utilizing a type of sleeve to line and seal the sewer pipe.
- Rooter Work & Drain Cleaning – Our plumbing team punches through the tree root clog to clog the line temporarily.
- Pipe Bursting – A permanent fix, pipe bursting uses hydraulics to break apart the existing piping and install a new, seamless pipe.
- Maintenance – Preventative maintenance helps eliminate roots from unlined pipes and catch clogs before they become significant problems.
