Tree root invasions are a common plumbing issue that need immediate attention. These invasions not only clog your pipeline, but continue to grow and expand damage the longer they are ignored. At Environmental Pipe Cleaning, Inc., we use advanced trenchless technology to clean out the clog and repair your pipes quickly.

What is a Tree Root Invasion?

Tree root invasions cause both clogs and severe cracks in your pipelines. This occurs when an already damaged area of your line has a leak and emits water into the surrounding ground. This moisture attracts vegetation and tree roots to begin growing inside of your pipeline. These roots can clog your lines while also making even the smallest crack much worse.

Signs You Have a Tree Root Invasion

While it is difficult to diagnose if you have a tree root invasion without a thorough inspection, there are some symptoms to look out for that call for professional help.

• Recurring clogs – if you are noticing your toilet, bathtub, or sink is frequently clogging for seemingly no reason, it could mean that you have an obstruction such as a tree root in your lines.
•  
• Slow draining – slow draining is a common sign that there is a clog in your pipelines that is affecting water flow.
•  
• Gurgling noises – gurgling noises are often the result of water having trouble passing through your pipelines. This could be because a tree root is blocking your lines, making the space for water much smaller.
•  
• Higher water bills – if your water bills are noticeably higher than usual, this could mean a leak is causing you to waste water.
•  
• Low water pressure – low water pressure is a common symptom of a leak and a clog in your lines, both of which can be caused by tree roots.
