If leaks or condensation occur on your home’s sewer pipes, these issues can make your pipes targets for tree roots seeking nourishment. Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Puerto Rico is available to resolve any sewer line issues caused by tree roots. Tree roots can grow into tiny cracks, holes, and separations in your pipes to infiltrate your sewage system. After finding water, trees will increase their root growth to invade that area. As more roots invade your pipes, they make tiny holes larger and clog your system until they eventually burst your pipe. A few warning signs that this problem may be affecting your plumbing include a lack of water in your toilet bowl, bathtubs not draining correctly, toilets making gurgling noises, and backups in your bathtubs or toilets. Fortunately, our service professionals offer multiple solutions to this problem. The following are examples of solutions plumbing companies may perform to resolve tree root intrusion:
- Hydro Jetting – This long-term solution cleans your pipes using pressurized water jets. Our service professionals thoroughly remove debris, grease, tree roots, and other buildups from your home’s sewer line.
- Pipelining – Our service professionals line and seal your sewer pipes and eliminate water leakage using a sleeve to resolve sewer line damage permanently. Pipelining doesn’t require trenching or demolishing structures around your property like walls and is highly effective.
- Maintenance – Preventative maintenance over time can save money and hassle while protecting your pipes. Our service professionals can help you prevent debris and grease buildup with our inspections and drain cleaning services. Furthermore, regular sewer line maintenance can prevent tree roots from causing damage to your pipes.
- Rooter Work & Drain Cleaning – We start this service option by restoring your sewer line’s functionality by punching through tree roots to clear it. After clearing your sewer line, our service professionals check your tree root problems’ extent and advise you on permanent solutions.
- Pipe Bursting – This option permanently fixes your sewer line issues using hydraulics to break apart your existing clay, PVC, or cast-iron piping. We then install a new seamless pipe as a long-term resolution.
