Tree roots can be a problem, even for public sewer lines. Jet Blast can remove them safely!
Tree roots are one of the most prevalent causes of sewer clogs. They can spread into different areas along your septic tank or sewer pipe and diminish the condition and functionality of your building’s plumbing networks. Because tree roots can be a pain, it can cost a lot of money to repair if not handled correctly. This article explains how tree roots break sewer pipes.
Symptoms of Tree Roots in Your Sewer Line
The following are signs that tree roots might have invaded your sewer line:
Slow-Draining Tubs, Sinks, etc.
Tree roots can enter the exposed sewer lines through cracks or other openings, exposing them to rainfall. Eventually, a clog can occur slowly until you notice it impacts your building’s sinks or other drainage systems.
Sewage Odors
Tree roots break sewer pipes through excessive wastewater penetration. As they grow inside the sewer line, you will notice a sewer odor coming from your drains and sinks, even when using chemicals such as anti-clog agents to prevent tree root clogging in your sewer lines.
Toilet Backups
Tree roots also break sewer pipes because of toilet backups. Toilets can trigger other problems, such as mold and tree root rot, which can be a huge problem if you are managing a public property.
Foundation Damage Issues
If there is excessive pressure on the foundation walls, it’s because of tree roots. This causes cracks and other openings in the foundation walls, leading to your home, office building, or related structure.
Excessive Development of Yard Growth
Tree roots will develop into any sewer line opening, including cracks, which can be discovered through a sewer camera inspection. Although lawns and other vegetation near homes with tree root problems might appear to wilt during the dry seasons, they flourish when it rains heavily because water intercepts inside the sewer line.
