Here at Plummers Septic Tank we come across interesting projects. One dealing with tree roots in sewer pipes. Trees add beauty to any property, but beware of the damage that roots can do to your sewer pipes. The reason tree roots grow towards and inside pipes is because inside the pipe there is water, nutrients and oxygen to help make the tree grow. Once inside the pipe the tree will continue to grow and if not disturbed they will eventually, fill the pipe with a hair-like root mass. As the roots continue to grow they can also expand and exert considerable amount of pressure on the joint or the place where they entered the pipe. The force of this pressure could result in the total collapse of the pipe, causing homeowners to replace this section of the pipe.Trees should be planted more than 10 feet from sewer lines to minimize root intrusion. Also, homeowners could choose small, slow-growing species with less aggressive root systems, and replace them before they get too large for their planting area.Pipe relining services are the most affordable way to repair pipes that have suffered tree root damage. The process of pipe relining is that the new pipes are fitted inside the existing ones, creating a watertight chamber. However, each instance could vary and excavation could be the only option if not stopped quick enough. Click to learn more! |
