Can Tree Roots Be Removed Permanently?
Those towering oaks and maples that give West Bloomfield its character are often the #1 enemy of your underground plumbing. Tree roots are naturally drawn to the moisture and nutrients inside your sewer pipes. Once they find a tiny crack or a loose joint, they invade, multiply, and eventually cause a total backup. At Sewer23™, we don’t just “poke a hole” in the roots—we provide permanent tree root removal solutions for homeowners across Metro Detroit.
Why “Snaking” is Only a Band-Aid
Standard drain snaking or augering only cuts a small path through the root mass. Because the roots aren’t fully cleared and the entrance point remains open, they grow back thicker and faster—often within 6 to 12 months. To stop the cycle, you need a method that cleans the pipe walls and seals the entry points.
Our 3-Step Root Elimination Process
We use a combination of advanced technology and chemical treatments to ensure your sewer line remains clear long-term:
1. High-Definition Camera Locating
We never guess. We use sewer cameras to find the exact joints where roots are entering. This allows us to target the problem areas without unnecessary digging.
2. High-Pressure Hydro-Jetting
Unlike a snake, hydro-jetting uses 4,000 PSI of water to literally scrub the roots off the pipe walls. This restores the pipe to its original diameter and flushes all debris out to the city main.
3. RootX® Foaming Treatment
After cleaning, we apply RootX®. This herbicidal foam fills the entire pipe and kills any remaining root ends on contact. It also leaves a residual barrier that prevents new roots from growing back for up to a year.
The Only “Forever” Solution: Trenchless Lining
If your pipes are structurally compromised by root growth, even cleaning won’t stop them forever. The only way to remove tree roots permanently is to eliminate their access. Our Trenchless Pipe Lining (CIPP) creates a seamless, epoxy-hardened “pipe within a pipe.” Because there are no joints or cracks, roots can never get back in. It’s a 50-year solution that requires zero excavation of your yard or driveway.
