Tree roots entering joints and collecting household debris
Why it happens here
Mature landscaping can bring roots close to sewer laterals. A small opening at a joint or crack lets fine roots enter, where they catch paper and grease. The resulting blockage may clear temporarily, then return as the root mass grows.
Our approach
We clear the obstruction and inspect the pipe to find the entry point. If the joint is damaged, we explain a repair or lining option where the pipe condition permits. Locating before excavation helps us protect nearby planting and avoid unnecessary digging.
