  • One of the most common reasons sewer systems back up is tree root intrusion. It may surprise you to learn a tree root is strong enough to penetrate pipe materials, but just as they can damage pavement in streets and sidewalks, they can find their way through cement and metal pipes. Trees need water to grow, and their roots seek out moisture. Cracks or pinhole-sized leaks in sewer lines attract tree roots, which infiltrate them to soak in more water, enlarging holes as they feed off the water in the pipes.

    How We Repair Tree Root Damage

    If you're one of the many homeowners with tree roots blocking sewer lines, don't panic. We have solutions to handle the toughest challenges. Even the best sewer backup prevention system might not be able to keep pesky tree roots out. Repair options for these cases include:

    • Hydrojetting –We use high-powered water jets to forcefully clean sewer pipes. This action eliminates tree roots and will scrub the pipe walls to eliminate scum and grease to prevent future backups for quite some time.
    • Pipe Lining – If you have water leaking from sewer lines, we can line the interior of the pipe walls with a sleeve that seals off the leaking moisture to keep the landscape around the pipes dry.
    • Pipe Bursting – If a sewer system line is damaged beyond repair, we use hydraulics to break up that section of pipe and insert a new segment.
    • Rooter Work and Drain Cleaning – We use durable tools to bust through stubborn tree roots, followed by a nice cleanse to ensure nothing is left behind that could cause another block. We can use either lining or bursting services to repair the area where tree roots entered the line.

    Septic System Line Backup Repair

    If your home is equipped with a septic system, the septic line is susceptible to similar backup issues as city sewer lines. While a sewer line is connected to the city system and transported away from the property, a septic line transports wastewater to a tank underground on the property. Tree roots and sludge buildup can cause the same issues for these homeowners as those with sewer lines. Our company is here to handle either one of these situations.

Be on the Lookout for Septic Line Backups

Blockages and backups in the septic line have similar signals to those in sewer lines. Neither is pleasant, but with one quick call to our service professionals, we can be out to assess the issue promptly. With a septic line backup, you might notice the following:

  • Very green grass around the septic area in the yard
  • Multiple drains in the home draining slowly
  • Slow flushing toilets
  • Wastewater leaks in the yard, often they will have a strong odor

Tips for Wastewater Line Backup Prevention

The good thing about a proactive plan is that your sewer backup prevention system cost doesn’t have to be high. Most of the steps include routine maintenance and common sense. Make sure your drains and pipes are inspected and cleaned periodically. Know where your sewer lines run, and refrain from planting trees in that area. Consider our Advantage Plan® to learn more about preventative maintenance options.
