Symptoms of Tree Root Damage to Plumbing Systems
Tree roots can cause significant damage to your plumbing system, leading to leaks, burst pipes, and even flooding. The symptoms may include:

How Tree Roots Impact Plumbing Systems
Trees can tap into your plumbing system through roots that grow into the pipes. This can lead to a range of issues, including:
- Root growth can cause pipes to become clogged or obstructed
- Poisoning: Tree root roots can seep into the water supply and contaminate it
- Clogging: Roots can block the flow of water through pipes, leading to backups and overflows
