How Do You Treat Tree Root Intrusions?

Leaky pipes attract growing tree roots as they search for hydration. They slip through tiny cracks in the pipes, growing larger and clogging the pipes. We provide multiple services for tree root intrusions, including:

• Rooter Work & Drain Cleaning – Rooter work and drain cleaning involve punching through the tree roots to get a clear line.
• Pipelining – Pipelining is a permanent solution that uses a type of sleeve to seal the leaking pipe.
• Hydrojetting – Our plumbing team uses high-power pressurized water jets to blast through the most challenging clogs.
• Pipe Bursting – Pipe bursting uses hydraulics to demolish your sewer pipes and install seamless ones.
• Maintenance – Our routine plumbing maintenance services help us stay on top of any problematic areas and check for clogs.

Residential Sewer System Backups FAQs

What are the common causes of sewer system backups in residential areas?

Sewer backups can result from factors such as tree root intrusion, pipe deterioration, flushing inappropriate items, or heavy rainfall causing sewer main overflows.

How can I recognize if my home is experiencing a sewer backup?

Look for signs like multiple drains clogging simultaneously, gurgling sounds, unpleasant odors, or toilets and sinks backing up. These indicators suggest a potential issue in the sewer line.

Can DIY methods like plunging or using drain cleaner solve a sewer backup?

Basic DIY methods may help with minor clogs but are ineffective for basement sewer backups. Professional intervention, like sewer line inspection and cleaning, is essential for a lasting solution.

Is it necessary to replace the entire sewer line in case of a backup?

Complete replacement might be necessary for severe damage, but targeted repairs like pipe relining or spot repairs can often resolve the issue without replacing the entire line.

How can I safeguard my basement from sewer backups during heavy rain?

Installing a backwater valve prevents sewage from flowing back into your basement during heavy rainfall or sewer overflows, offering a protective barrier against backups.

Are there any preventive measures to reduce the risk of sewer backups?

Regular maintenance, like keeping trees with invasive roots away from sewer lines and avoiding flushing non-biodegradable items, significantly reduces the risk of sewer backups.

Can I claim insurance for damages caused by a sewer backup?

Insurance coverage varies; damages caused by sudden and accidental events may be covered, while those resulting from neglect or lack of maintenance might not be covered.

How quickly should I address a sewer backup issue in my home?

Swift action is crucial to minimize damage and health risks. Contacting a professional plumber promptly can help diagnose and resolve the issue before it escalates.

Are sewer backups more common in older homes?

Older homes with outdated plumbing systems may be more susceptible to sewer backups. Regular inspections and potential upgrades can mitigate this risk.

Can preventive measures, like root barriers, be installed to avoid backups?

Yes, root barriers can be installed to prevent tree roots from infiltrating sewer lines, reducing the likelihood of backups. Consulting with a professional plumber can determine the most suitable preventive measures for your property.
