Sewer Tree Root Removal Services in Chicago & Suburbs

Tree roots love sewer lines! It is very common for homeowners in Chicagoland to experience a tree root infiltration inside their sewer lines at some point. As you already know, older mature trees add a great deal of beauty to your landscaping. They also add shade around your property as an extra benefit. As great as trees can be, they can cause a severe damage to your sewer lines. It’s natural for tree roots to seek out moisture that is needed for them to survive. What better place than your sewer lines? Your sewer pipes contain water, oxygen and nutrients that trees need to survive. Tree roots are strong and have zero problem infiltrating your sewer pipes to fulfill their growth.

Once you start to notice you are having issues with tree roots growing in your sewer pipes, you need to realize this problem is likely to occur again in the future. The tree roots can be removed from your sewer line, but since the actual tree is still alive, the roots are going to grow back. Proper maintenance will likely be required on a consistent basis throughout your time living in your home. Your best bet is to call out a technician at the Suburban Sewer Experts to assess the situation with a sewer camera inspection. We can go over your options so we can make an educated and affordable decision about the plan of action to take for clearing out your sewer lines.

What Causes Sewer Tree Root Infiltration?

Sewer tree root infiltration is caused by trees planted near the sewer line. Trees seek out water and nutrients, and sewer lines that are moist provide the perfect environment for them to grow. Tree roots can crack and break sewer pipes, and once they have entered the pipes, they can continue to grow and expand, causing blockages and sewage backups.

The Dangers of Tree Root Intrusion

Tree roots are naturally attracted to the abundant moisture and nutrients found in sewer pipes. As they grow, they gradually infiltrate the pipes through small cracks or joints, causing significant damage. The main dangers of tree root intrusion include:

• Blockages: Tree roots can clog your sewer lines, leading to slow drainage, backups, and even complete blockages.

• Pipe Damage: As tree roots invade the pipes, they can exert pressure, causing the pipes to crack, collapse, or become misaligned.

• Expensive Repairs: If left untreated, tree root intrusion can result in extensive damage to your sewer system, requiring costly repairs or even full replacements.

• Health Hazards: Blockages caused by tree roots may lead to sewage backup, posing health risks and potential contamination to you and your family.

In most sewer tree root infiltration cases, we will first do a sewer video camera inspection to assess the situation and determine if your sewer lines may need a sewer rodding or a hydro-jetting. Sewer line rodding is performed using a powerful rooter machine that cuts its way through the sewer lines. Hydro jetting uses a high-powered water jetting stream to break through any tree roots and debris. Depending on how bad the tree root infiltration is, in some cases both a sewer rodding in combination with a hydro jetting is needed to fully clear the sewer lines of all tree roots.
