Tree roots are one of the most common causes of sewer line damage. As trees grow, their roots can extend into your sewer pipes in search of water and nutrients. The roots can cause cracks, breaks, or even complete collapse of the pipes, leading to blockages and backups.
Ignoring tree root intrusion can lead to significant damage to your sewer line, which can be costly to repair or replace. In some cases, the damage can be so extensive that the entire sewer line needs to be excavated and replaced, which can be a major expense.
Additionally, a blocked sewer line can cause sewage backups in your home or yard, which can be hazardous to your health and the environment. Sewage backups can also damage your property and belongings and require professional cleanup. Regular maintenance and inspections by a plumbing professional like Moore & More Plumbing, LLC can help prevent tree root intrusion by identifying and addressing potential issues before they become major problems.
