Tree Roots in Your Sewer Line? Here’s What You Need to Know (and How Our Dig Crew Can Help)
Tree roots and sewer lines don’t get along—at all. As roots search for water and nutrients, they often find small cracks or joints in your sewer pipe and force their way in. Left unchecked, they can cause blockages, backups, and even pipe collapse.
At Gold Seal Plumbing, we know how stressful sewer issues can be. That’s why our expert dig crew is equipped to handle tree root intrusions quickly and safely—with solutions that protect your yard and your peace of mind
Why Tree Roots Invade Sewer Lines
Roots are drawn to the moisture and nutrients inside sewer lines. When they find a crack or loose joint, they creep in and grow fast. Over time, this can cause:
-Gurgling toilets or sluggish drains
-Overflowing cleanouts or floor drains
-Lush, fast-growing patches of grass
-Soggy or sunken areas in your yard
You might be tempted to try DIY remedies like rock salt or chemical root killers—but while these may provide temporary relief, they don’t fix the real problem and can even damage your pipes.
Our Sewer Line Repair Options
Whether it’s a minor root intrusion or a full pipe failure, we offer a full range of trenchless and traditional repair methods, including:
-Hydro-jetting: High-pressure water blasts away roots and buildup without
damaging your pipes.
-Root cutting with specialized equipment: Mechanical root removal to clear
obstructions at the source.
-Trenchless pipe lining: A durable liner is inserted into the existing
pipe—minimal or no need to dig.
-Pipe bursting: A new pipe is pulled through the old one, breaking it apart
while seamlessly replacing it.
-Excavation and full pipe replacement: For severe damage, our dig crew can
handle full replacements with precision and care.
No matter which method we use, we prioritize quick, efficient solutions with minimal disruption to your home and property.
