The roots of trees can be a significant threat to plumbing systems, causing damage and disrupting services. This is due to the extensive network of tree roots that can grow up to 10 feet deep into the ground, creating cavities and cracks in pipes.
Signs of Tree Root Damage
- Mild cracks or fissures in walls and ceilings
- Crawling, slapping, or gurgling sounds coming from pipes
- A decrease in water pressure or flow rates
- Visible signs of tree root growth, such as roots peeking out through windows or doors
