What Are Tree Root Intrusions?

A tree root intrusion occurs when trees or shrubs are planted in the sewer line absorption field. As the trees grow, their roots stretch downward looking for water. These roots often find water in your sewer pipes, which can cause significant damage. As the roots grow and expand, they infiltrate your sewer pipe, causing cracks, breaks, and a buildup of debris and organic matter that leads to a clog. Eventually, you’ll have a sewer system backup.

How We Repair Sewer System Backups

At Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Humboldt & Del Norte, we use an innovative trenchless method to repair sewer system backups. First, we inspect and diagnose your sewer line problem using a video camera inspection method. This helps us determine the location, cause, and extent of your sewer line problem. Next, we'll recommend one of these methods to repair sewer system backups:

• Rooters & Drain Cleaning - We first clear your sewer line clog using powerful plumbing rooters. Once the line is cleared, we will fully clean out all debris, so your sewer is functioning again. We’ll then determine if a more permanent solution is required.
• Hydro Jetting - Our hydro jetting service uses very powerful pressurized water jets to clear out all debris from your sewer line. These hydro jets can push grease, hair, sludge, debris, organic matter, and more through the pipes and into the city’s sewer system.
• Pipe Relining - Our innovative and advanced pipe relining process allows us to seal your sewer pipes without digging a trench or demolishing structures. We use a special sleeve to seal the pipe and prevent further water leakage.
• Pipe Bursting - If we can’t use our pipe relining technique, we will use hydraulics to burst your pipe, break it apart, and remove it. At the same time, we’ll install a brand-new pipe as a permanent solution to sewer system backups.
• Routine Plumbing Maintenance - As a method of sewer backup prevention, we recommend that all our customers commit to routine plumbing maintenance. Our Advantage Plan makes it easy to schedule sewer line inspections, drain cleaning, plumbing repairs, and more so you can prevent another sewer system backup.
