Did you know that tree roots are top-tier enemies of plumbing pipes? Tiny roots can wriggle their ways into small cracks in the pipes, then continue to grow, stretching the cracks wider as the roots tangle and become a blockage within the pipes. It can cause bursts, floods, and a whole mess that screws up your plumbing system. However, with us at North Hill Sewer & Drain, you have dependable root infested plumbing pipe repair in DuPont at your disposal.

In case you’d like to know what to look for, here are a few indicators that one or more of your plumbing pipes could be overrun with roots:

• Slow-flow drainage and obvious clogs. You know, when your water or liquids drain slowly, something is blocking the pipes. Even after treatment, if the problem persists, it could be root infestation.
• Small puddles or sinkholes in your yard.
• Bad smells, like sewage, through your home and yards.
• Green patches of grass around your yard and stronger, quicker growing trees (due to the excess water and possible sewage being introduced to your plants).

Not every plumbing pipe leads to sewage. Roots could hit water sources, making it just as big of a mess and means as much of a hassle as if a tree were to burrow into your sewer lines. Don’t think one is less important than the other. Both would require inspection, diagnosis, repair, and possible replacement.

On average, it takes roundabout an hour, maybe two, to inspect the extent of damage caused by roots in your pipes. Inspections typically cost between $100 to $300.
