What are Tree Roots and How Do They Affect Our Plumbing Systems?
Tree roots can be a significant threat to our plumbing systems. As trees grow, they push their way through the soil, creating complex networks of roots that can eventually break through to your underground pipes.
- Roots can cause damage to pipes, leading to leaks and water waste.
- They can also clog drains and pipes, making them more prone to freezing in cold weather.
- In severe cases, tree roots can even compromise the integrity of your plumbing system, requiring costly repairs or replacement.

"I was surprised to learn that my tree roots were causing thousands of dollars in damage to my plumbing system," said John Smith, a homeowner in Ashland. "It wasn't until I hired a professional to inspect my pipes and root system that we discovered the problem."
