The hidden dangers of tree roots to plumbing systems are often overlooked, but they can cause significant damage and financial losses to homeowners. Tree roots growing into pipes can lead to clogs, backups, and even complete pipe failure.
Understanding the Risks
Tree roots have a powerful grip on trees, allowing them to absorb water and nutrients from the soil. As they grow, they can also enter nearby buildings through cracks in walls or floors, causing damage to plumbing systems.
- Clogged drains: Tree root growth can cause hairballs to form inside pipes, leading to clogs that require expensive repairs.
- Backups and odors: As tree roots grow into pipes, they can block the flow of water, causing backups and unpleasant odors.
- Pipe damage: In severe cases, tree root growth can damage or even collapse pipes, leading to costly replacements.
