How Do Tree Roots Cause Sewer System Backups?

Underground tree roots are one of the most common contributors to sewer system problems for property owners. Why? Tree roots need water to grow, and they're attracted to moisture. When the septic pipes running in the ground form condensation or leak, roots will move in that direction and quickly enter through the tiniest cracks and crevices they can find in those pipes. As the roots take in water, they continue to grow, worsening problems and blockages until sewage backs up into sink drains and toilets in your home.

Whether your problem is caused by tree roots or other debris stuck somewhere in your sewer system, you can count on our local service technicians for help. Our team is fully equipped to provide comprehensive plumbing system maintenance to fix your problem correctly the first time. Solutions for sewer system backups include:

  • Rooter Services – This is a high-powered method of punching through tree roots and other tough clogs. The first step is to clear the blockage and then move forward with permanent repair of the pipes.
  • Hydrojetting – Pressurized water jets are a safe and effective solution to move clogs out of the way while simultaneously giving the pipes a deep clean.
  • Pipe Lining – We install lines inside the pipe walls to seal off any cracks and leaks that have been attracting tree roots.
  • Pipe Bursting – If your pipes are ancient and in rough shape, we might suggest breaking them apart and installing new sewer pipes using a seamless system to avoid future leaks and cracks.

Signs and Problems of Septic System Backups

If your home has a septic system, a backup can cause more trouble than a clogged pipe. We advise homeowners to call for help as soon as they notice slow drainage in their homes. Reacting at this early stage can reduce the possibility of hazardous conditions on the property. Signs of a septic backup include:

  • A toilet that flushes or drains slowly
  • Multiple drains in the home clearing slowly
  • Strong, odorous, dark liquid in toilets or drains
  • Very green grass around the septic tank in the yard
  • Strong sewage odors around the property

The best way to manage a sewer or septic issue is to avoid them altogether. Of course, we know that's not entirely possible, but good habits can reduce their likelihood, and a sewer backup prevention system cost will be less than any major repairs an issue might require. What can you do?
