Midland Park, NJ Pros in Residential Sewer System Backups

How Tree Root Intrusions Cause Sewer System Backup

Tree root intrusions are a common cause of residential sewer system backups. They are caused when a leaky pipe or condensation around a pipe attracts nearby tree roots that are looking for hydration. Our service professionals have found that tree roots can travel long distances and easily enter your pipe system through small cracks and holes. As the roots stretch and grow further, they cause more damage to the pipes and end up clogging up your entire sewer system. If you have a sewer system backup due to tree root intrusions, you might notice sewage backup in your tub, shower, or toilet or a gurgling sound coming from your toilet. There might also be no water in your toilet bowl, and your tub may not drain properly.

Our Solutions for Tree Root Intrusions

We work hard to quickly evaluate the cause of your sewer system backup and find speedy solutions. Our tree root intrusion solutions include:

• Drain Cleaning & Rooter Work - Our service professionals will destroy the tree root clog to ensure your sewer line is flowing smoothly again. We’ll then evaluate the extent of the tree root intrusion and develop long-term solutions.
• Hydrojetting Services - One long-term solution for sewer system backups is cleaning out the pipes using hydrojetting, or pressurized water. These water jets will clean out debris, roots, organic material, and grease that have built up in the pipes.
• Pipe Lining With Sleeve - Another permanent solution is lining the entire sewer pipe with a sleeve that seals it off and prevents water from leaking. This doesn’t require trenching or tearing down walls or structures.
• Strategic Pipe Bursting - We can also provide another permanent solution through strategic pipe bursting. We’ll use hydraulics to burst your sewer pipe and install a new pipe.
• Ongoing Maintenance - To prevent future sewer system backups, we offer ongoing maintenance services that include inspections, continuous drain cleaning, and reducing roots and other intrusions.
