Tree roots can be a significant threat to properties, causing damage and potentially leading to costly repairs. However, the good news is that tree root problems are often preventable with proper maintenance and care.
"If you're experiencing issues with your plumbing, it's likely related to tree roots," says John Smith, owner of Fix-it Right Plumbing. "Tree roots can grow into pipes, causing leaks and water damage. By identifying the source of the problem early on, we can offer expert solutions to protect your property."
Symptoms To Look Out For
- Visible signs of tree root growth, such as cracks in walls or ceilings, or water spots on surfaces.
- Increased energy bills due to increased heat loss or gain through damaged pipes.
- Rising mold and mildew on walls or floors, which can lead to health issues if not addressed promptly.
"One of the most common causes of tree root problems is soil moisture," says John Smith. "When the soil is too moist, tree roots can grow and expand rapidly, eventually breaking through the pipe or foundation of your property."
"Another factor to consider is temperature fluctuations," adds John Smith. "Tree roots tend to grow more actively during periods of extreme heat or cold, which can cause pipes to burst or freeze, leading to costly repairs."
