What are Tree Roots and How Can They Affect Your Home?
Tree roots, also known as root systems or tap roots, are the underground networks of tiny stems and branches that make up a tree's vascular system. As trees grow, these roots spread out in all directions, eventually forming extensive networks that can damage pipes and foundations.
The Potential Damage: Water, Sewage, and Septic Systems
One of the most common problems caused by tree roots is water damage to your home's plumbing system. Tree roots can infiltrate pipes, causing leaks, backups, and even complete failure of critical systems like sewage and septic systems.
