The easiest way to tell if you have issues with tree roots in your Charlotte, NC, drain pipes is if you have them inspected. When you schedule services with a plumbing professional at Mr. Rooter of Charlotte, they can come out with a sewer camera and thoroughly inspect the pipe. Through pipe inspection, we will be able to determine visually if your issues come from tree roots or if there is another reason your drain pipes are having trouble.
Tree roots grow slowly, so if you have noticed a progressive decline in your drain function for a significant period of time, chances are, roots are to blame. Plus, if you happen to have a tree that has experienced significant growth over the last year or so, it is likely that the tree found a new source of food and water. Once the roots were in the pipe, tree growth became inevitable. Now, your healthy tree is the result of the roots making their way into the pipes on your property.
