If you find leaks or condensation on your pipes, these plumbing issues can entice tree roots to search for a hydration source. Mr. Rooter Plumbing of San Joaquin County’s highly trained and seasoned service technicians have ample experience resolving plumbing issues involving tree roots. Over the years, our technicians have seen roots make their way far across the property and easily slip into sewer lines through tiny holes, cracks, and separations in the pipes. After finding a water source, a tree begins increasing its root growth to invade that nourishing area. As roots continue to infiltrate a sewer pipe and make holes larger, they create a drastic clog in your system and cause your pipe to burst. Various signs may show up, such as sewage backing up in your bathtub or toilet, gurgling sounds produced by your toilet, tubs not draining properly, or a lack of or absence of water in your toilet bowl. We offer several solutions if you notice any of these signs, including the following:
- Pipelining – This plumbing solution permanently resolves sewer line damage after we line and seal your sewer pipe using a sleeve. This sleeve stops water leakage completely, and our plumber may only need to line a problematic pipe section. We don’t need to demolish walls and other structures when using this method.
- Hydro jetting – If a long-term solution is necessary, our service professionals can clean your pipe using pressurized water jets. These jets thoroughly strip debris, tree roots, grease buildup, and other deposits from your sewer line.
- Rooter work and drain cleaning – We start this process by punching through tree roots to clear your sewer line, effectively restoring its functionality. After clearing your sewer line, we check the extent of your tree root problem to determine permanent solutions.
- Maintenance – Our technicians can continuously inspect and clean your sewer line with plans to keep grease buildup and other debris at bay. Regular maintenance also rids unlined pipes of tree roots before they cause clogs.
- Pipe bursting – This service also permanently fixes your backups by breaking apart your existing cast iron, clay, or PVC sewer with hydraulics and then installing a new seamless pipe.
When to Call Mr. Rooter Plumbing of San Joaquin County for Help
You should never assume your drain problem is a standalone incident that will go away on its own. Mr. Rooter Plumbing of San Joaquin County strongly recommends contacting us as quickly as possible to avoid substantial problems like raw sewage backups. We generally attempt to use a cable device or special auger to open your drain, but more advanced techniques are available if these simpler tools don’t successfully open your drain. Your drainpipe or sewer pipe might have been crushed by tree roots, and this intrusive issue can work its way into your pipes through tiny cracks and joints. Your backup may also be built-up discarded food or garbage disposal waste, thick toilet paper, sanitary products, soap residue, or hair-forming tough sewer blockages. If your only plumbing concern is a clogged drain, we can perform quick and efficient work to clear it.
