Your pipes may be at risk of being damaged by roots if you’ve got trees on or around your property. This is because tree roots are attracted to the moisture and nutrients that can be found in the pipes. The damage happens when the pipes are already cracked or broken to begin with, making it easier for the roots to gain entry. For this reason, you need to have a professional conduct a pipe camera inspection regularly.
Luckily, The Pipe Medic offers sewer camera inspection services in Marietta, GA. We can help detect potential or existing problems that arise from tree root intrusions. Let’s go over some of the most common ways tree roots can damage pipes.
Cracks and Breaks
When tree roots penetrate the sewer lines, the cracks get bigger, which means even bigger roots can enter. Before you know it, you’ve got a full-blown tree root intrusion and a completely destroyed sewer pipe. This can lead to leakages along your sewer lines – a messy, unsanitary (and possibly costly) problem to resolve. Through our sewer video inspection services, we can detect the invasion of tree roots into your pipe and offer a solution.
Pipe Clogging
When tree roots block the pipe, it prevents sewage from flowing out of the home or building as it should. This can lead to backups and overflows that can cause extensive damage to your property. Our drain inspection services would help you detect any blockage disrupting the flow in your sewer line.
A plumbing Inspection can help determine the location and extent of the damage. We can provide you with a copy of the footage and help you make an informed decision on what to do moving forward. In any case, our team can offer the appropriate solutions to your pipe-related problems, whether it’s brought on by tree roots or other causes.
