Tree Roots

The penetration of tree roots into your drain pipes is a problem that can eventually force you to replace the pipes in your home or business. Roots have the ability to enter your pipes from the smallest hairline cracks.  They also thrive in the nutrient-rich and moist environment inside your pipes. Once even the smallest root is inside the pipe, it can grow to a size large enough to block it or even crack the pipe or create other drainage problems.  

Once roots have begun to find their way through the gaps and openings in cracked or damaged pipes, Everlast Plumbing can replace the section of affected piping, and/or removing the tree that is sending the roots. Replacing the pipes may be the best option if the pipes are old and in danger of collapsing. There are methods to mechanically remove tree roots that have grown in the sewers. A high pressure water jetter can cut through roots and clears most blockages.
