Tree Root Damage

Tree roots damage anything that gets in its path. You might walk down the street one day and see cracks in the sidewalk and wonder how they got there. One way is when a tree Grows to maturity and the roots are close to the surface as they grow anything on top of it will Buckle or be pushed up and in a lot of those cases concrete sidewalks are placed right above baby roots. As time goes on those same baby roots are 2000 times the size or more and once they grow to maturity that could cause real damage to the concrete, which damages the walkways with cracks and such. Roots also destroy sewer lines that come from homes and businesses and once the tree roots successfully penetrate a sewer line it will make a home to feed. And what better way to eat for a tree when it gets perfect fertilizer from the sewage that travels through the sewer line. Tree root damage needs to be repaired as soon as possible to bypass a major blockage that could possibly flood a home or business out with sewage.

Time For A Repipe

Here at Daniel Plumbing And Maintenance when we create a post for you to read we make sure that it is a real experience that is connected to that post. For instance we have a customer with a home that was built in the sixties, needless to say that this home had a lot of damaged piping from the time itself.

Pipe closed completely

When we first showed up to the home the customer was curious to know what type of situation she was really in, she claimed the person who owned the house before her says they always had some type of water issue in the home, most from leaks in the walls, she even added they had over three slab leaks/broken water pipes in the floor. Now with the experience that we have in the plumbing trade we have seen not as bad conditions and we have seen five times worst conditions. I knew that I had to tell my customer that they should repipe the entire home as soon as possible, repiping the entire house would guarantee that every existing water pipe that was installed in the home in the sixties would be brought to current conditions, it also meant that there would no longer going to have any pipes in the floor, which also guarantees no way possible that a customer that receives a repipe from us will never have a slab leak again.

She also understood by having all of her water pipes changed out that the water pressure in her home would increase significantly, also there would not be any traces of rust buildup that would come out of the pipes first when you ran a bath or try to wash a few dishes and the kitchen sink. So we repipe the entire home and our customer could not have been happier with the outcome, she shared with us her regrets of not doing it way sooner than she chose to do it. So this message is for anyone having high water bills, rust colored water coming out of the faucets, a person that has had multiple slab leaks, or a person who just wants to be proactive and no that they would be better off with a brand new start.
