Your plumbing system has a lateral sewer line that connects your home to the city’s main sewage line. This lateral sewer line transports wastewater from your home to the city’s sewage system. When your sewer line becomes damaged, clogged, or overflows, it can back up through the drains in your home. Having wastewater flowing through your sinks, toilets, bathtubs, and floor drains is not a very pleasant experience. Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Lafayette LA performs residential sewer system backups in Lafayette, Louisiana. We can install a sewer system backup prevention system to protect you from these events, or we can help you resolve an ongoing sewage backup in your plumbing system.

Solutions for Tree Root Intrusion
People are often surprised to learn that tree roots are among the most common causes of sewage system backups. Any crack, leaking, or condensation from your sewer line will add moisture to the surrounding soil. This attracts tree roots, causing them to grow toward the crack or leaky joint. Eventually, the roots will grow into the pipe, making the leak worse and completely clogging your sewer line. Tree root intrusion causes some of the most stubborn clogs because it tends to cause damage to the sewer line that needs to be repaired. Some of our solutions for tree root intrusion include:
- Relining Pipes – Relining your sewer line is a permanent solution that does not involve digging trenches. We insert a sleeve into your current sewer line that seals any leaking sections of your existing pipe.
- Hydro Jetting – Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water jets to blast away clogs caused by tree roots. With 3,500 psi of water, this technique can eliminate any blockage and leave your sewer line spotless.
- Rooter Work and Drain Cleaning – Many tree root clogs can be fixed with a rooter and drain cleaning. We will punch through your blockage, clean your drains, and recommend permanent solutions for future tree root intrusions.
- Maintenance – With regularly scheduled maintenance, our service professionals can prevent common clogs and catch tree root intrusion early.
When to Call Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Lafayette LA
If your home does not have a sewer backup prevention system, you should consider investing in one. While Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Lafayette LA is experienced in repairing sewer system backups, it is always better to prevent them before they happen. Backup prevention systems come in a few different forms, but one of the most popular ones involves a check valve that prevents reverse flows from the sewage line. That valve then redirects the sewage through a cleanout pipe outside your home. We are always happy to meet with you and explain the sewer backup prevention system costs ahead of time.
