Tree Root Intrusion Specialists
We get calls from homeowners every day who don’t know that plumbing pipes are vulnerable to tree roots. The water collecting on your pipes can draw in thirsty roots nearby and cause them to invade your underground sewage system, wreaking havoc on your plumbing.
Although this is a serious issue for your home’s plumbing, it’s also a fairly common problem. The experts at RP Services are masters in all solutions to tree root intrusions, including drain cleaning, hydro jetting, pipe lining, and more. If you’re experiencing sewer line problems, don’t wait; call the team at RP Services for industry-leading tree root intrusion solutions and pipe repair.
What Is Tree Root Intrusion?
Tree root intrusion refers to the circumstance in which tree or plant roots invade your home’s sewer lines. It can be caused by damage to the sewer line which allows the tree’s roots inside easily, or the tree may be strong enough to break through the pipe and cause the damage itself.
Once a tree root does make its way into your sewer line, the problem is likely to rapidly get worse. With access to water, the roots can now grow and spread throughout the pipe, causing buildup and blockages or structurally damaging your pipe. Since tree root intrusion can cause damage to your entire sewer system if left untreated, it’s important to call RP Services as soon as you notice the first signs of a problem.

How to Prevent Tree Root Intrusion
Luckily, it is possible to prevent tree root intrusion from occurring on your property. One solution is to build a barrier between any nearby tree roots and your sewage system. This can be a physical barrier such as wood or metal, or you can apply a chemical barrier. It’s also recommended that any trees you plant be planted far enough away from your sewer lines to avoid the possibility of tree root intrusion. Be aware of where your sewer system runs, and plant any trees at least 10 feet away from any piping. Finally, invest in regular maintenance for your sewer system, including sewer camera inspection services which can identify any issues while they’re still new and less costly to repair.
