Today, we will educate you about root intrusion. Root intrusion is when a person has a crack or leak in their sewer line system, and the trees are able to smell that water being dispersed into the dirt. So trees have to eat just like we do as humans so the roots end up growing towards your sewer line and submerge themselves in that moisture. So when the tree finds that type of leak, the roots grow into the pipe so that they could reach the source of that moisture. Which ends up being the inside of your sewer line. And trees are very attracted to sewer lines because sewer lines pack the perfect menu for a tree, there is water, and there is waste like feces which acts as a fertilizer, and explains why roots can grow so aggressive inside your sewer lines. Once you get roots inside the line, there is one solution, and one solution only. And that is to do what we call a spot repair or changing out that entire sewer line. A spot repair consist of locating where the blockage has entered the pipe and cutting out that bad section of pipe by digging down to the pipe and replacing damaged pipe with new pipe. And a entire sewer line is like it sounds changing out the entire line from home to property line. We also offer camera inspections on mainline sewers and it’s always best to take care of a problem before it graduates to something worse. There should be a few pictures located with this post and what you see is a route that actually grew inside a persons bathroom underneath their toilet, and what is laying next to that hole in the other picture is the root that was removed. We service all of Antelope Valley, California, all of Santa Clarita, California, all of Mojave, California and surrounding areas.
