If you have leaks or condensation on your pipes, these common plumbing problems can entice tree roots to grow toward them when searching for nourishment. Mr. Rooter Plumbing of the Tri-Valley’s expert service professionals have plenty of experience handling tree root-related plumbing issues. Our years of service include witnessing roots stretching far through the ground and growing into sewage systems by slipping through tiny pipe section cracks, holes, and separations. After tree roots find a water source, the tree increases its root growth in that area. More roots will infiltrate your pipes and make small holes bigger, eventually clogging your plumbing system and bursting your pipe. Your sewage system may display signs of a problem. Some examples include tubs not draining properly, no water in your toilet bowl, sewage backups in your toilet or bathtub, and gurgling sounds coming from your toilet. If you notice any of these signs around your home, our company offers various ways to resolve them. The following are examples of plumbing solutions for tree root infiltrations:
- Pipelining – We line and seal your sewer pipe with a sleeve to resolve sewer line damage permanently. This special sleeve eliminates water leakage and may only need to go in the problematic pipe section. Resolving sewer system issues with this method doesn’t require trenching or tearing down walls and other structures.
- Hydro jetting – If a long-term solution is necessary, our service professionals can clean your pipe using pressurized water jets. We eliminate debris, tree roots, and grease buildup as we thoroughly scour your sewer line.
- Rooter work and drain cleaning – We start this method by clearing your sewer line by punching through a tree root, effectively restoring its functionality. After clearing your pipe, we assess your tree root problem's extent to determine and advise you on permanent solutions.
- Maintenance – Our service professionals can continuously inspect and clean your drains with plans to resolve and prevent household greases and debris buildup. This service option also rids your unlined pipes of tree roots before they cause clogs.
- Pipe bursting – This option breaks apart your current cast-iron, clay, or PVC sewer pipe and installs a new seamless pipe using hydraulics to resolve sewer line issues permanently.
When to Call Mr. Rooter Plumbing of the Tri-Valley
A sudden or ongoing drain problem might seem like an isolated incident, but Mr. Rooter Plumbing of the Tri-Valley strongly recommends reaching out to us to prevent significant issues like a raw sewage backup. We typically use a cable device or special drain auger to open your drain, but we have more advanced methods available if these tools don’t open your drain successfully. Your drain or sewer pipe might get crushed by tree roots, and these roots can grow and infiltrate pipes by slipping through cracks and joints. You can also deal with built-up discarded food or garbage disposal waste, thick toilet paper, hair, soap residue, or sanitary products causing blockages. If a clogged drain is your only problem, we can perform quick and efficient work to clear it.
