How Trees Can Destroy Your Home’s Sewer Line

Published on June 08, 2016
What Tree Roots Can Do to Your Sewer Line 617.jpg

You try to be careful and make sure you don’t put anything down the drain that would clog your pipes. You don’t put anything down the toilet but toilet paper; you don’t put eggshells, meat, or fats down the kitchen sink; and you make sure to have filters on all your drains. But have you thought of everything in order to avoid a high-priced sewer line repair?

Check outside because you may be ignoring the most detrimental problem of all: tree roots.

Trees want nutrients and their roots are how they get it, so the point of the tree root is constantly “looking for” and “reaching for” a source of moisture and nutrients and they are drawn to a leaking sewer line that needs repair.

Most of time, tree roots will leave strong, unbroken sewer lines alone. They normally only invade leaking, broken, or damaged lines buried within the top two feet of the earth. When this takes place the original damage not only becomes worse, the tree roots can totally clog the sewer system and reduce the water flow, resulting in overflows and even flooding your home or building.

But what can you do? Call a sewer line repair professional in Denver.

A sewer line repair will most likely be easier (and less expensive) than a ruptured pipe, so if you believe there’s trouble with your sewer line, especially if you feel that tree roots are growing into the pipe, call Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning right away.

Sewer line repair professionals at Service Experts will use a sewer inspection camera to confirm whether or not the sewer system has a tree root issue. Once the issue has been confirmed, our sewer line repair technician will review all of your options with you and help you choose the best plan, whether that’s a trenchless sewer line replacement or just getting rid of the tree roots.

Keep in mind, faster growing trees, such as cottonwood, silver maples, or tuliptree, may cause more problems because they grow more rapidly. Slower growing trees are a better alternative, but they still need to be removed and another tree replanted every six to ten years to avoid their roots from becoming an issue. Also, make sure you plant trees a good distance from your sewer lines, that way you can help avoid damage and avoid those pesky (and sometimes costly) sewer line repairs. If you’re not confident where your sewer lines are, ask Service Experts to flag the path of the sewer pipes.

So if you think your tree roots have entered your sewer line or you have any plumbing needs at all, call Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning in Denver and we are happy to visit and see if you need a sewer line repair or do a complete plumbing maintenance to make sure your pipes are good to go.
