Tree Root In Pipes

Sinks and showers have slow emptying drains.

Roots will continue to grow and spread once they have contact with water from your broken pipes. While the roots may be unseen at first, they can cause major blockages and even damage to the pipes. Drains that are slow to drain are usually blocked.

Your drain makes gurgling noises.

When you flush the toilet, run water, or empty a sink, a sinister gurgling sound from nearby drains is often heard. This is the sound of water attempting to pass through whatever is blocking your drain.

Your toilet regularly backs up.

A backed-up toilet is another sign of a blocked drain. Tree roots in pipes can quickly block a toilet drain by catching toilet paper and other debris.

A foul smell is coming from your drain.

If tree roots block your sewer line, a foul odour will eventually emanate from your drains. As more waste accumulates at the tree root blockage, the odor will worsen.

There are very green patches of grass on your lawn, or your tree is growing unexpectedly rapidly.

You may have tree root blockage if you don’t even have a green thumb and your trees or grass are abnormally green. Your pipes’ plants will appreciate the continuous supply of water and nutrients.

In contrast to the previous signs of roots in your drain lines, this one indicates aggressive root growth in your pipes. If you have any of the above symptoms, as well as an unusually green garden, tree roots are most likely growing in your underground pipelines.

Tree roots come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and they have the proclivity to infiltrate various types of underground pipes. As a result, it is safe to assume that the cost of plumbing repairs will always differ from one another. There will never be a standard cost for repairing tree root invasions. Before providing an accurate estimate, the licensed plumber must consider the severity of the underground pipe damage, the type of property, the pipe depth, the need for additional equipment, and the length of the affected pipes. To get a more accurate estimate, contact Rowson‘s Plumbing Services and request an inspection.

Tree root invasion is not something that inexperienced individuals should attempt. Excavation is required in the process of removing invasive tree roots from four pipes, which should never be attempted on your own. A do-it-yourself plumbing job would only result in a costly plumbing nightmare. It is in your best interests and the best interests of your neighbours to hire a licensed plumber for the tree roots in the pipes job.
