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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
