The Impact of Tree Roots on your Main Sewer Line:
Your Main Sewer line runs from your home, out to the end of your driveway, where your main drain line hooks into the city
sanitary sewer.
Tree roots require oxygen and water to grow. Growth rate is affected by the soil depth, water supply and temperature.
Trees are made up of large roots for support and stabilization and many small temporary feeder roots and root hairs.
These small roots are the primary water and nutrient absorbers.
Most roots can be found in the top 6 to 18 inches of soil,where water nutrients and oxygen are found.
Roots generally extend up to two or three times the height of the tree. They can extend as far as seven times the height of the
tree.
Large, mature trees have thousands of feet of roots, searching for nutrients. Roots will be less in clay soils then in sandy or well
drained soils.

Seasons impact Root growth:
Summer & Winter (the dry months). Tree roots will travel long distances in search of moisture. When trees get thirsty, they
follow the trail of moisture vapors escaping from small cracks, holes, or poorly sealed joints in the Water & Sewer lines. The
roots penetrate the opening to reach the nutrients and moisture inside the pipes. If you do not get your Drain lines cleaned out,
the roots will completely fill the pipes with multiple hair-like root masses at each point of entry. The root masses quickly become
clogged with toilet tissue, grease and other debris flowing from homes and businesses to the main sewer, resulting in reduced flow
and slowed drains. A complete blockage and breakage of your Main Sewer lines will occur if the roots are not removed and root
growth continues.

Main Sewer Drain Line Breakage:
Once roots have entered the pipes, they continue to grow and expand, exerting considerable pressure against the Main Sewer
Drain lines. The increased pressure will break the pipes and will result in total collapse. Which requires Total replacement of
underground Sewer lines.

Yearly Drain cleaning service STOPS drain problems before they cause breakage to your drain  
lines.
Our preventive maintenance contract keeps your drains open and free-flowing.
It also allows you to budget for sewer and drain cleaning maintenance.
