The Arrival of Plant Growth in Sewer Lines

Sewer line blockages can be a major problem for home owerns. It has been determined that nearly 50% of all sewer line blockages are caused by tree root growth. Given that plants and trees seek nutrients, moisture, and air, it is only natural that, upon “finding” a sewer line, these powerful growths can literally break the walls of the pipes. Large trees located unnecessarily close to sewer lines tend to cause the most problems.

Old, jointed pipes, as well as smaller pipes, are most susceptible, while some stronger modern pipes can resist quite a lot of tree growth. One of the major warning signs of plant growth in sewer and septic lines is consistent (rather than infrequent) drain clogs. It is worthwhile, if you have plants on or near your system and older pipes, to get someone to come check out your sewer lines for potential plant growth maintenance.

How Maintenance Can Help With Plant Growth

A skilled technician such as the professionals here at BullsEye can check for current damage and help you make smart, yet affordable, choices for repair solutions. This can include using other pipe materials, creating barriers between tree roots and your pipes, and even suggesting “sewer-safe” trees if you are willing to consider a long-term solution of that kind. However, even if you aren’t experiencing pipe breakage or blockage right now, a highly trained BullsEye professional can help you consider what your current situation is before the costly repairs happen and make a plan ahead of time, rather than after a system breakage.
