Residential Sewer System Backups in Seattle, WA

Solutions for Sewer Line Tree Root Intrusion

If your home’s sewer pipes are leaking or have condensation, they can be targets for tree roots seeking nourishment. Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Seattle is ready to resolve any sewer line problems caused by tree roots. Roots can slip into your sewage system through tiny cracks, holes, and separations in your pipe sections. Once tree roots locate water, they will increase their growth. As additional roots work their way into your pipes, these holes become larger while the roots clog your system and eventually burst your pipe. A few indications you might have a tree root problem in your sewer line include a lack of water in your toilet bowl, bathtubs not draining correctly, gurgling noises from toilets, and backups in your toilets or bathtubs. Our plumbers can fix this sewer line issue with the following solutions:

• Hydro Jetting – This long-term solution cleans your pipes using pressurized water jets. Our plumbers thoroughly scrub and clean your home’s sewer line to remove tree roots, debris, and built-up grease.
• Pipelining – Our plumbers use a sleeve to line and seal your sewer pipe, eliminating water leakage and resolving sewer line damage permanently. Pipelining is highly effective without needing to trench your property. Additionally, we won’t need to demolish walls or other structures.
• Maintenance – Preventative maintenance is an outstanding service that can save you money and avoid hassle over time. Our technicians help you prevent built-up grease and debris by performing inspections and drain cleaning services. Sewer line maintenance can help ensure tree roots don’t wreak havoc on your pipes.
• Rooter Work & Drain Cleaning – We start this service by punching through intrusive tree roots to clear your sewer line and restore its functionality. Next, our plumbing technicians check the extent of your tree root problems and recommend permanent professional solutions.
• Pipe Bursting – This permanent fix breaks apart your current piping using hydraulics, whether your home’s sewer pipes are composed of clay, PVC, or cast iron. We install a new seamless pipe to solve your problems.
