Tree Root Sewer Line Cleaning & Removal | Sewer23
Tree root intrusion is one of the leading causes of sewer backups, slow drains, and flooded basements. Roots naturally seek moisture, and even a tiny crack or loose joint in your sewer pipe is enough for them to enter and spread rapidly.
If left untreated, tree roots can cause repeat clogs, pipe damage, and full sewer line failure.
At Sewer23, we specialize in professional sewer root removal and drain cleaning, restoring flow while helping homeowners avoid unnecessary excavation whenever possible.
How Tree Roots Damage Sewer Lines
Tree roots enter sewer pipes through:
-
Small cracks or fractures
-
Aging clay or cast iron pipes
-
Loose joints or failed connections
Once inside, roots expand and trap:
-
Toilet paper
-
Grease and food waste
-
Soap residue and debris
This buildup restricts flow and eventually causes sewage to back up into the home, often through basement floor drains or lower fixtures.
Professional Sewer Root Removal Services
We use proven methods to safely remove roots and clean sewer lines, based on the condition of your pipe:
Mechanical Root Cutting
Heavy-duty cutting heads remove invasive roots while protecting the pipe structure.
Hydro-Jetting
High-pressure water scours the inside of the pipe, removing roots, grease, and buildup without chemicals.
Sewer Camera Inspections
Video inspections allow us to confirm root intrusion, assess pipe condition, and recommend the most cost-effective solution.
Preventative Root Treatments
Eco-friendly treatments help slow regrowth and extend the life of your sewer line.
