Sewer System Backups in Minneapolis & St. Paul

If your pipes have leaks or condensation, these issues can attract tree roots looking for nourishment. Mr. Rooter Plumbing of the Twin Cities has expert plumbing technicians with experience dealing with tree roots. We’ve seen roots traveling far through the ground and easily slipping into sewage systems through tiny pipe section separations, cracks, and small holes. After the roots discover water, the tree starts increasing root growth in that area. As more roots infiltrate the pipes and make holes bigger, they clog your system before bursting your pipe. You might notice signs like sewage backups in your toilet or bathtub, tubs not draining properly, gurgling sounds coming from your toilet, or no water in your toilet bowl. If these signs occur, we offer various solutions, such as the following:

• Pipelining – We permanently resolve sewer line damage by lining and sealing your sewer pipe with a sleeve. This sleeve eliminates water leakage, and we may only line the troublesome pipe section. Using this method avoids trenching and demolishing walls and other structures.
• Hydro jetting – If you need a long-term solution, our technician can use pressurized water jets to clean your pipe. We thoroughly scour your sewer line to eliminate tree roots, debris, and grease buildup.
• Rooter work and drain cleaning – First, we punch through a tree root to clear your sewer line and restore its functionality. After that, we check your tree root problem's extent and recommend permanent solutions.
• Maintenance – Our technicians offer continuing inspection and drain cleaning plans to keep household debris like grease buildup at bay. This service also eliminates tree roots from unlined pipes before these roots cause clogs.
• Pipe bursting – This option is another permanent fix, using hydraulics to break apart your current clay, cast iron, or PVC sewer pipe while installing a new seamless pipe.
