As a homeowner, you may have noticed that your plumbing system has been acting strangely lately. Maybe the toilet won't flush properly or the shower is leaking excessively. If these issues persist, it might be due to tree roots causing structural damage to your property. Tree roots can spread through soil and into pipes, leading to costly repairs.
Tree roots are essentially long, thin stems that grow from the base of trees. They have tiny buds on the ends that produce new shoots, which can grow into a network of roots over time. These roots can grow through soil and underground pipes, causing damage to buildings and structures.
