Roots

Trees with invasive roots are often the culprits that cause sewer line damage in homes. If you have mature trees in your yard, there’s a likelihood that their roots have infiltrated your sewer line in search of water and nutrients. The situation could be worse if your sewer line has seen better days. Tree roots often find their way into sewer pipes through existing cracks and weak points. That’s why it’s a good idea to perform regular sewer line inspections to catch potential tree root infiltration in its tracks and take the necessary measures to prevent damage. If you’ve noticed unexplained wet patches in your yard, you could be dealing with a broken sewer line. Call the team at Mr. Rooter Plumbing to carry out an inspection and offer effective solutions. Our skilled plumbers in Pooler, GA are well-equipped to identify the exact location of tree root infiltration and make accurate repairs.

Tips Avoid Tree Roots in Your Sewer Line

• Install root barriers to keep roots away from your sewer line
• Remove trees near your sewer line
• Use chemical root inhibitors
• Reline your pipes to create a barrier that prevents tree roots from penetrating your sewer pipes

Rust

If you have cast iron or steel sewer pipes in your home, you need to be aware of the threat of rust. This problem is commonly caused by water hardness, acidic soil conditions, and exposure to water and oxygen. Inspect exposed sections of your sewer line for visible signs of rust on the pipe surfaces. If your sewer pipes are rusted, it’s time to consider repiping as a long-term solution. Even though a rusted sewer line seems to be working properly, it’s only a matter of time before it fails completely. You may begin to experience recurring leaks, clogs, and sewage backups. The experienced plumbers at Mr. Rooter Plumbing are ready to help you install a new sewer line if yours is failing.
