How it works
What to expect
Symptom review and camera inspection
We discuss what you are experiencing, then run a camera through the line to see the actual condition of the pipe, locating blockages, breaks, roots, and bellies precisely.
Diagnosis and repair options
We show you what the camera found and explain your options, from spot repair to trenchless rehabilitation to full replacement, with the trade-offs of each.
Targeted repair execution
We repair or replace the damaged section using the agreed method, keeping excavation as limited as the chosen approach allows.
Verification and flow testing
We run the camera through the repaired section again and test drainage from multiple fixtures to confirm full, unobstructed flow.
Site restoration guidance
We explain what to expect as disturbed areas settle and give guidance on protecting the repaired line going forward.
FAQ
Tree Root Removal questions
How do tree roots get into sewer pipes?
Roots are drawn to the moisture around pipe joints. They enter through hairline gaps in joints or small cracks, then expand inside the pipe, catching waste and growing into a solid mass. Older clay and cast iron lines with many joints are most vulnerable.
If you cut the roots out, will they come back?
Yes, unless the entry points are repaired. Cutting restores flow temporarily, but roots regrow through the same gaps. Lasting solutions include repairing the damaged joints or rehabilitating the pipe so roots cannot re-enter.
Do I have to remove the tree?
Not necessarily. In many cases the pipe can be repaired or lined so the tree and the sewer line coexist. Tree removal is a last resort, and we discuss pipe-side solutions first.
