Tree Root Blockage
Roots in the sewer line are challenging to clear. Let's have a look at what we could do about sewer drain invaded by tree roots?
Trees often grow close to residential dwellings, and tree roots often invade sewer pipes; tree roots searching for the water and nutrients and grow in the pipe and break the sewer pipe. Roots also become a culprit inside of the pipe, causing wastewaters to backup into your basement at one point.
Toronto Drain Services crew have seen many cases like that, and unfortunately, it is not that easy to clear such drain blockages. Common sewer clogs from waste and debris could be cleaned with the drain snake. Grease buildups in the sewer pipe are easily blasted with the drain power flusher. But tree roots are growing slowly into the line and collect a lot of sewer waste and junk, making those blockages hard even to break with the hydro jetting.
What do we do to clean tree root blockage in the pipe?
If the clog is not too solid and is possible to clear with the drain snake, we use a drain snake machine. However, it is not always the case, and the next step is sewer pipe spot repair; the process involves the excavation of the part of the drain line where the drain blockage is located. We replace the piece of the sewer line. The spot drain replacement is not a very expensive procedure, and it takes about one day to finish in total.
The blockage location is easy to detect. We use a drain camera and locator to identify and locate the clog under the ground; the system allows us to find the exact spot we should excavate and how deep the pipe blockage is lying.
If you experience a problem with the sewer line, there are ways to identify the drainpipe clog's early signs.
