Brett ColganJanuary 25, 2022 Highly recommend. Our appointment time was 8:00am Monday morning and Bruce showed up at 7:59. Awesome. And this was the morning after a snowstorm. He was polite, quick and professional. We had two clogged drains which he had cleaned out and left our house before 8:45. I would definitely use them again and suggest them to anyone who needs it. Ann GaiserJanuary 21, 2020 AWESOME customer service. Very friendly and knowledgeable. They came out the same day and fixed my drain. I can't say enough about this company. I would give them 10 stars if I could. I will use them in the future. Thank you for your service. 👍👍👍 Amanda LungJune 24, 2019 Friendly, professional, and prompt. Adam fixed the backup and took the extra time to scope out the main flush with the camera to give us peace of mind that the pipes were in good shape. Kelsey JonesNovember 18, 2017 we have been having issues with water and stuff backing up into our laundry room in the basement. Our company who maintains our septic (ASI) came out and told me to cancel the pumping company that I had coming later that morning. Ken (the ASI man) called Clear Drain for me and set up an appointment for us for 2 hours after he left. Ken told me how amazing this company is and how they will do such a thorough job and that they are priced very well for all that they do. Ken saved me a lot of money and heartache by sending this company out to my house. The gentleman who showed up was so kind, had a great sense of humor (even if he was faking it, I am sure he has heard all of the poop jokes there are to hear), he showed me exactly what needed to be fixed, told me what we can do to keep things moving until we can dig up the spot to our first septic tank, he discovered that we apparently have 2 septic tanks (that was a good laugh), marked in the yard where we needed to dig to have things fixed, told me what the company could do for us but never once pushed anything on me (which makes me want to call them again if we ever have issues). The kind man knew the exact type of tree that I had near the house, was able to tell me about the roots, how often we may or may not to have the pipes cleared, what to ask for in the future so we would know how often to have them cleared. I can't say enough good about these guys, although the issue sucks in the long run, he made me feel not so stressed about it, had me take a picture of the issue so I could show my husband so he would be able to see what is going on. (now I am rambling). I highly recommend this company. They seem to have amazing manners and an even better work ethic.
Expert Tree Root Extraction and Sewer Line Maintenance
We specialize in removing invasive tree roots from sewer lines throughout Holmes County and nearby areas, using advanced techniques and professional equipment to restore proper flow and prevent future damage.
Comprehensive Root Intrusion Assessment
We begin each service with a thorough video inspection of your sewer line to identify the exact location and severity of root intrusions. Our high-definition cameras provide clear imagery of the pipe’s interior condition.
This detailed assessment helps us map out problem areas and determine the most effective removal strategy. The inspection reveals the extent of root penetration and any resulting pipe damage.
We provide clients with a complete report of our findings, including video documentation and recommended solutions for their specific situation.
Professional Sewer Line Root Removal Techniques
Our team employs several proven methods to eliminate root intrusions:
- High-pressure water jetting to blast away root masses
- Mechanical cutting tools for thick root removal
- Chemical treatments to prevent regrowth
- Advanced clearing equipment specifically designed for residential sewer lines
We carefully select the most appropriate technique based on your pipe’s material, age, and condition. Each method is performed with precision to avoid damaging the existing infrastructure.
Importance of Prompt Root Removal
Root intrusions can cause significant sewer line damage when left untreated. Early signs of root problems include:
- Slow draining fixtures
- Gurgling sounds in pipes
- Frequent backups or clogs

Professional root removal prevents costly pipe replacements and property damage. Quick action helps maintain your system’s integrity and extends its lifespan.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is root removal in plumbing?
Root removal is the process of clearing tree roots that have invaded your sewer or drain lines. Roots seek out moisture and can enter small cracks or joints in pipes, causing clogs, slow drains, or even pipe damage.
How do roots get into sewer lines?
Roots enter through tiny cracks, loose joints, or holes in underground pipes. Once inside, they thrive in the moist environment and can quickly grow into a dense web that blocks water flow.
What are signs of root intrusion?
Common signs include:
Frequent drain backups or slow drains
Gurgling sounds from toilets or drains
Unpleasant odors from plumbing
Sudden lush patches of grass above sewer lines
Overflowing cleanout or backups in multiple drains
How is root removal performed?
We typically use one or more of the following methods:
Root cutting with a mechanical auger (drain snake with a cutting head)
Hydro jetting to blast away root debris
Chemical root treatments to kill roots and prevent regrowth
Camera inspections to locate the problem and confirm it’s resolved
Is hydro jetting effective for removing roots?
Yes, hydro jetting is highly effective for clearing out soft root masses and flushing out debris. For thick or woody roots, mechanical cutting may be used first, followed by hydro jetting.
Will the roots grow back?
Yes, if not treated properly. That’s why we often recommend a root-killing chemical treatment after physical removal to discourage regrowth. Long-term solutions may include pipe repair or replacement.
Can root removal damage my pipes?
When performed by professionals, root removal is safe. We always inspect your pipes beforehand to assess their condition and choose the safest and most effective method.
How can I prevent future root problems?
Preventive steps include:
Regular sewer line inspections
Annual root maintenance treatments
Replacing old clay or concrete pipes with modern PVC
Avoiding planting trees or shrubs near sewer lines
How often should I have root removal done?
If you’ve had root issues before, annual inspections and treatments are recommended. For homes with older sewer lines near large trees, ongoing maintenance is key to avoiding emergencies.
Do you offer emergency root removal services?
Yes, we provide fast-response emergency services to clear root blockages and restore your plumbing system when you’re dealing with a sudden backup or overflow.
