Tree roots can cause significant damage to your home's plumbing system, even if they're not visible. Understanding the hidden dangers of tree roots is crucial for preventing costly repairs and ensuring the integrity of your property.
What Happens When Tree Roots Reach Your Plumbing System
Trees can grow up to 6 inches in diameter in just one year, and the roots can extend far beyond their canopy. If these roots reach your plumbing system, they can cause a range of problems, including: * Clogged pipes: Tree roots can grow into the pipes and block water flow. * Pipe bursting: The pressure exerted by the clogged pipe can burst the pipe, causing damage to the surrounding walls and potentially leading to flooding. * Water damage: Tree roots can also seep into the soil beneath your home, potentially causing water damage to the foundation, walls, or other structures.
