Problems Caused by Tree Roots
One of the most common causes of residential sewer line backups is tree roots that have intruded on the sewer pipes. If trees are planted within the absorption field of your sewer line, the roots may grow and stretch towards the pipes, which they see as a key water source. As the roots grow, they begin to intrude on the sewer pipes, causing the pipes to crack, break, or burst. The tree roots and leaves and debris from the soil clog up the sewer pipes and cause a blockage.
