How Trees Can Damage Your Property's Plumbing System

Trees are beneficial to any property. They help to bring shade to your home, which is especially desirable during the summer when the temperatures are high. Apart from providing shade, trees improve the natural aesthetic value of your home and also help to act as windbreakers, preventing potential weather damage.

As trees grow, the roots take hold in the soil and grow deeper towards the ground. Trees can actually benefit from the waste material found in sewer lines and other plumbing systems located underground, but in doing so can cause a lot of headaches.

How Do Trees & Their Roots Affect Your Plumbing?

When trees grow, so do their roots. As this happens, they can take hold of main sewer lines and cause clogs within sections of the pipe. This will lead to wastewater not flowing properly, and can cause your toilet and sinks to become backed up. When this happens, you need to contact a qualified team who will perform a sewer line repair or replacement.

Priority Plumbing & Drains will unclog the sewer line using tools such as a fiber optic video camera that helps to find where the blockage is located.

The roots can also lead to the cracking of sewer lines, which will cause wastewater to find its way to the surface and flow over your lawn and onto the street. This creates a potential health hazard.
