Tree roots entering older or separated lateral joints
Why it happens here
Roots seek moisture and can enter a joint that has shifted, cracked, or lost its seal. Once inside, they catch paper and grease, causing recurring backups. Landscaped SpurWing yards make it important to locate the pipe before removing roots or opening the ground.
Our approach
We inspect the line, identify the entry point, and remove the obstruction with appropriate equipment. Then we locate the defect and discuss a repair that addresses the joint. If the pipe is otherwise sound, a targeted repair may avoid replacing a longer section.
