Getting to the root of the problem

If your drains are gurgling, there might be a growing problem underground. 

Trees offer natural beauty to any yard, but underground, tree roots can wreak havoc on your sewage system.

How do tree roots get in sewage pipes?

Tree roots grow naturally towards any source of water. When there is a leak in your sewage pipe, it is an attractive source of water for roots. The roots enter the sewage pipe through the crack then continue to grow, eventually causing a blockage in the pipes. 

What damage does tree roots cause to sewage pipes?

Tree roots can cause minor blockages in the sewage pipe leading to improper water flow and backups to severe damage such as a collapsed drain line.

What are signs tree roots are in your sewage pipes?

A few signs that tree roots might have infiltrated your sewage pipes are:

How does Drain Titan, LLC fix a blockage caused by tree roots?

Tree roots pulled out of a drain.

There are a few different solutions to clear tree roots from your sewage pipes.   

• High pressure jetting of the pipes. High pressure jetting uses water at high pressure to blast through the roots, breaking them up. 

• Cutting the tree roots up using a special tool with a carbide cutting head. 

• Or depending on the severity of the damage, age and condition of the pipe, and the type of pipe – an entire replacement of the pipe or fitting.
