Solutions to Sewer Line Tree Root Intrusions

If there are leaks or condensation on your home’s sewer pipes, they quickly become targets for tree roots on your property looking for a water source. Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Kelowna will gladly resolve any sewer line problems involving tree roots infiltrating your pipes. Roots can invade your sewage system by slipping in through tiny pipe section holes, cracks, and separations. Once tree roots find a water source, the tree increases root growth.

Some signs indicating tree root infiltration include bathtub or toilet backups, gurgling sounds from toilets, bathtubs failing to drain correctly, or not enough water in your toilet bowl. Our service professionals offer various solutions. The following are examples of common plumbing resolutions to sewer system backups:
