Keeping Tree Roots Away From Your Plumbing System

Now that the weather is finally warming up, the trees and shrubs around your home are going to be looking for water.  However, you don't want this water source to be your plumbing system! Here are a few tips to help you prevent tree roots from invading your lines.

Sewer Line Tips:

• Plant Carefully - Plant larger trees far enough away from your sewer lines that the roots are not within reach of the pipes.  You can plant slow-growing trees with small root balls closer to your lines.
• Know the Warning Signs - Clogged drains happen.  However, if your drain is frequently clogged and slow-flowing, it might be a sign that tree roots have invaded your linen.
• Have Your Pipes Inspected - We offer main drain video inspections that help homeowners determine what is going on inside of their plumbing pipes in real-time.  If you are experiencing any plumbing problems, our technicians can help you understand the cause of the problem and whether or not tree root growth is effecting your plumbing.
