Signs You May Have Tree Root Intrusion
Tree roots can grow into sewer lines through small cracks or joints, then expand over time. Watch for these signs:
Recurring Drain Clogs
If you’re only getting short-term relief from plunging or drain cleaners, it might be tree roots invading your sewer line, growing thicker as they absorb moisture. These roots trap debris, leading to persistent clogs that DIY solutions just can’t fix.
Multiple Slow Drains
If roots partially obstruct your sewer line, wastewater has difficulty flowing, causing slow drainage in various fixtures. This could indicate that root intrusion is blocking the flow deep within your pipes.
Gurgling Noises when Flushing or Draining
Roots form irregular blockages in your sewer line, trapping air pockets that produce gurgling or bubbling sounds when water drains. If you hear these noises from your sinks, showers, or toilets, it’s a sign that root intrusion is affecting your system’s airflow.
Sewage Smells from Drains or the Basement
Get professional sewer line root removal as soon as possible to prevent further damage to your plumbing system. When tree roots get into your sewer line, they can trigger wastewater to pile up into your drains, toilets, or even your basement. If you observe unpleasant smells or raw sewage bubbling up, it’s a sign that your pipes may be about to fail.
If you notice these issues, Romaniuk can inspect your system and provide root intrusion removal before it becomes a major repair.
Our Root Intrusion Removal Process
Step 1: Inspection & Detection
We utilize high-resolution sewer cameras to accurately detect tree root intrusions and evaluate any damage to your pipes, ensuring a thorough inspection for the best possible solution.
Step 2: Root Removal
Based on the severity of the root intrusion, we use hydro jetting or mechanical cutters to remove the roots from within your pipes, effectively clearing blockages without the need for excavation.
Step 3: Pipe Repair & Lining
For cracked or damaged pipes, we use trenchless pipe lining or pipe bursting techniques to restore the pipe’s integrity, ensuring a long-lasting solution that prevents future root intrusion and further damage to your plumbing system.
Step 4: Prevention & Protection
We provide scheduled inspections and hydro jetting services to keep your pipes clear and functioning properly. Additionally, we can install root barriers around your plumbing system to prevent future root growth and protect your pipes from potential damage.
FAQs About Sewer Line Root Intrusion
Suspect root intrusion in your plumbing? Contact Romaniuk Heating and Air Conditioning for expert service and lasting sewer line protection in Edmonton.
How Do Roots Enter My Sewer Line?
The nutrients and moisture in your sewer pipe attract tree roots. Over time, they grow thicker and restrict wastewater flow by infiltrating through tiny cracks or loose joints.
Can I Fix Root Intrusion Myself?
Although DIY drain treatments can temporarily clear a clog, they cannot remove roots or repair damaged pipes. Complete removal and long-lasting protection require specialized equipment and techniques.
Will Hydro-Jetting Harm My Pipes?
No. When performed by licensed professionals, hydro jetting is safe and effective for clearing roots and other obstructions without damaging pipes.
How Do I Keep Roots from Coming Back?
Regular maintenance and inspections are essential to preventing root intrusion and maintaining a healthy plumbing system. We also suggest installing root-resistant pipe linings and making landscaping adjustments to reduce the risk of roots damaging your pipes in the future.
