Solutions to Sewer Line Tree Root Intrusions
If your household sewer pipes develop leaks or condensation, they can become vulnerable to tree roots in search of nourishment. At Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Brownsville, we specialize in resolving sewer line issues caused by tree roots. Tree roots can enter your sewage system through small cracks, separations, and holes in your pipes. Once they find a water source, root growth accelerates. As more roots infiltrate your pipes, the holes expand, leading to blockages and, eventually, pipe bursts. Look out for telltale signs, including bathtub or toilet backups, gurgling noises from toilets, slow-draining bathtubs, and reduced water levels in your toilet bowl. Our expert team offers effective solutions to address these problems, including the following:
Hydro Jetting
We perform this long-term solution using pressurized water jets inside your pipes to clean them thoroughly. Our service professionals scour the entire length of your household sewer line to rid it of tree roots, debris, and built-up grease.
Maintenance
Preventative maintenance can effectively help you save money and avoid hassle over time. Our company’s inspections and drain cleaning services ensure you have a much better chance of avoiding grease and other material buildups. Sewer line maintenance also helps you prevent tree root infiltration that can wreak havoc on your sewer and water pipes.
Rooter Work & Drain Cleaning
We start this technique by punching through invasive tree roots and clearing out your sewer line while regaining its optimal performance. After clearing your pipe, our team checks the extent of your tree root problems and advises you on long-term solutions.
Warning Signs That Your Septic System Is Backing Up
Your residence's septic tank has the potential to become backed up, leading to a range of issues extending well beyond just clogged toilets or sinks that won't drain properly. At Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Brownsville, our skilled team swiftly addresses these concerns, and it's crucial to reach out to us at the earliest sign of trouble. Allowing our service professionals to address the backup before it escalates into a complete blockage can save you from experiencing widespread problems throughout your entire system. Don't put off seeking clogged sewer backup cleaning services until later. Neglecting to schedule professional solutions could result in expensive property contamination and damage. Keep an eye out for the following warning signs of a septic system backup, which can help you identify a problem in its initial stages:
- Foul-smelling black liquid in your household toilets or drains
- Toilets flushing and draining slowly
- Foul smells floating around your home because of a failing septic system or incorrect ventilation
- Multiple slow-running drains
- Weed or algae growth in a pond close to your home (may be due to septic waste discharge)
- Wastewater seeping from the ground by your household septic system that can have an odor at times
- Vibrantly green and lush grass growth over your home’s septic system, even when the weather is hot and dry
- Bacteria in a well because of septic system liquid traveling through the ground and contaminating your drinking water
