Tree roots entering older joints and catching household waste
Why it happens here
Mature trees and established landscaping can place roots near aging clay or cast iron sewer lines. Small joint openings let roots reach moisture; once inside, they catch paper and grease. Repeated clearing can restore flow temporarily while leaving the entry point in place.
Our approach
We inspect after clearing to see whether the pipe wall and joints remain sound. A root-cutting drain machine removes the obstruction, and camera footage shows whether a spot repair, liner, or replacement should address the opening that allowed roots in.
