How Tree Roots Penetrate and Damage Sewer Lines

Symptoms of Tree Roots in Sewer Lines

Tree roots in pipes cause drain blockages by growing into the pipe and creating an obstruction. This not only slows the drainage but can also break the pipe structure, leading to leaks and significant damage. Tree roots naturally seek out moisture, and your sewer pipes are an ideal source. Once roots infiltrate the pipes through small cracks or joints, they expand quickly, causing significant blockages and damage.

Slow Drains

If your sinks, showers, or toilets are draining slowly, it may be due to roots obstructing the pipes.

Gurgling Toilets

A gurgling sound from your toilet often indicates a blockage in the sewer line caused by tree roots.

Backed-Up Sewers

Severe blockages force wastewater back up into your home, leading to messy and unhygienic conditions.

Stinky Puddles

Foul-smelling puddles in your yard can signal a break in the sewer line where roots have penetrated.

About Main Sewer Lines: Its Role And Vulnerability

Tips for Fixing & Preventing Tree Roots in Sewer Lines

The main sewer line connects your home to the municipal sewer system, running through your front yard. In older homes, these lines might be made of clay or cast iron, which are more susceptible to root invasion compared to modern plastic pipes. Tree roots can travel over 100 feet from the base, posing a threat to your sewer lines regardless of tree proximity.

Locating the Main Sewer Line

Typically, the main sewer line exits your home in a straight path to the street. Identifying this line can be done by tracing the indoor drain line or contacting utility mapping services like Dig-Safe.

Use Rock Salt

Rock salt dehydrates tree roots, eventually killing them. Pouring rock salt into your toilet and letting it sit in the pipes can help manage root growth.

Foaming Root Killers

Specially formulated to kill roots inside pipes, foaming root killers prevent further damage without harming the tree. They foam upon contact with water, ensuring thorough coverage.

Copper Sulfate

Copper sulfate is effective but must be used cautiously due to its toxicity. It kills roots on contact, preventing their return.

Mechanical Removal

For more severe blockages, mechanical removal using motorized augers can cut through the roots and clear the pipes.

Professional Plumbing Services

Hiring professional sewer tree root removal specialists in Sydney & Melbourne ensures a comprehensive solution. Our experts use CCTV drain cameras to identify affected areas, high-pressure water jetters to clear roots, and advanced techniques like pipe relining to restore your plumbing system.

Types of Roots in Sewer Lines

Different trees have varying root systems that can affect your sewer lines:

Taproots

These deep-reaching roots can penetrate pipes deep underground.

Fibrous Roots

Thinner and more spread out, these roots can infiltrate pipes through small cracks.

Adventitious Roots

Growing from non-root parts of the tree, these can also invade pipes close to the surface.

Preventing Future Tree Root Invasions

Regular Inspections

Schedule annual inspections to detect early signs of root intrusion.

Chemical Barriers

Use chemical treatments to create a root barrier in your pipes.

Pipe Relining

Reinforce your pipes with resin linings to prevent future root entry.
