Signs Your Home Has a Backed-Up Sewer System

Services for Sewer Line Tree Root Intrusions
Trees can be a beautiful addition to any home, but tree roots often tend to be the enemy of residential sewer pipes. Tree roots have a way of finding their way into your pipes when they have leaks or condensation. Tree roots are always in search of nourishment, allowing them to slip into sewage systems through tiny cracks, holes, or separations in the piping. Once tree roots infiltrate your home’s pipes, those holes will become large, leading to clogs in the system and burst pipes. Some signs that you have a tree root invasion going on include backed-up toilets or bathtubs, bathtubs not draining correctly, gurgling noises in toilets, and a lack of water in toilet bowls. Our professional plumbers offer the following solutions for tree root invasions:
- Hydro Jetting – We offer this long-term solution that utilizes pressurized water jets to clean out your home’s pipes. Our professional plumbers thoroughly scour your sewer line to remove debris, grease, and tree roots.
- Pipelining – Mr. Rooter Plumbing of lethbridge takes care of sewer line damage with this permanent solution.
