Tree roots are an essential part of the ecosystem, providing oxygen and supporting biodiversity. However, they can also pose significant threats to homes and buildings if not properly managed.
Over time, tree roots can grow through soil cracks and fissures, entering underground pipes and sewer systems. This can lead to blockages, flooding, and costly repairs.
In addition to the physical damage they can cause, tree roots can also harbor diseases and pests that can spread to other plants and even humans. A clogged or damaged root system can be a breeding ground for these threats.
Why Tree Roots are a Hidden Danger
- Trees grow slowly, often taking decades to reach maturity. This slow growth means that tree roots have ample time to develop and spread.
- Tree roots can absorb nutrients and water from the soil, which can also seep into underground pipes and sewer systems.
- A clogged or damaged root system can be difficult to detect, making it easier for pests and diseases to spread.
