Residential Sewer System Backups in Grants Pass and Medford, OR

Tree Roots Intruding Home’s Your Sewer Line

If leaks or condensation are issues on your pipes, they can attract tree roots seeking a water source. Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Josephine & Jackson Counties has expert service professionals with ample experience resolving sewer system issues caused by tree roots. We’ve dealt with tree roots stretching across a home’s property and easily invading its sewage system by slipping into tiny pipe section holes, cracks, and separations. After discovering a water source, the tree starts increasing its root growth to take advantage of that area’s moisture. As roots continue to grow into the pipes, they make small holes bigger, clog your system, and eventually burst your pipe. This issue displays several signs, such as sewage backups in your toilet or bathtub, no water in your toilet bowl, gurgling sounds coming from your toilet, and tubs not draining properly. If you notice any of these signs, our company can resolve them with various solutions. The following are examples of reliable solutions to sewer system problems:

• Pipelining – Using a sleeve to line and seal your sewer pipe permanently resolves sewer line damage. This special sleeve resolves water leakage and may only need to line the problematic pipe section. We use this method to avoid trenching and destroying walls and other structures.
• Hydro jetting – Our service professionals offer a long-term solution by using pressurized water jets to clean all debris and blockages out of your pipe. We eliminate debris, grease buildup, and tree roots by scouring your sewer line.
• Rooter work and drain cleaning – We start this process by clearing your sewer line by punching through a tree root, effectively restoring its functionality. After clearing your pipe, we assess your tree root problem's extent to advise you on permanent solutions.
• Maintenance – Our service professionals can continuously inspect and clean your drain with plans to clear grease buildup and other household debris. This solution also rids your unlined pipes of tree roots before they cause clogs.
• Pipe bursting – This service is another permanent fix, breaking apart your existing PVC, cast-iron, or clay sewer and installing a new one using hydraulics.
