What Is Tree Root Intrusion?

One of the biggest culprits of damaging sewer pipes is tree roots. Leaky pipes attract tree roots searching for nourishment. They can slip through tiny crevices and cracks to make their way into your sewer line. The tree roots continue to grow as they get more nourishment from the moisture. The roots clog your sewer pipe and can even burst your pipe. It’s critical to get sewer line repairs to eliminate tree roots from taking over your sewer pipe.
