The Root of the Problem

When it comes to homeownership, maintenance is inevitable all year, but especially in the fall. In fact, homeowners have a lot of responsibilities in the fall. According to Angie’s List, some of the many to-do tasks include sealing drafts, adding insurance, servicing the furnace, and protecting the plumbing. When it comes to protecting the pipes and maintaining their overall use, homeowners rarely look outside and think about tree roots but that is the first thing you should do. Tree roots and their expansion are often the cause of stoppage or blocking, particularly with bathroom toilets. 
While trees add texture, charm, and shade to our front yards, their roots can cost homeowners thousands of dollars, invading and breaking their main sewer line. Tree roots grow towards sewer pipes because they hold water, nutrients, and oxygen—things roots crave.
Roots look for a crack or leak in the pipe, creeping in the pipe wall, thriving in the pipe, blocking off the flow of waste into the sewer.
The root growth eventually adds too much pressure to the pipe, making it break and collapse, leaving you with thousands of dollars in needed repairs. One way to prevent this from happening is to get to the root of the problem literally. Our customers turn to us and ask us about Root X.
