What Are Tree Roots and How Do They Affect Plumbing Systems?

Tree roots are underground stems that grow from trees, feeding on soil nutrients. Over time, they can encroach on nearby properties, including residential plumbing systems.

• Excessive root growth can damage pipes, valves, and fittings, leading to costly repairs or even complete system failure.
• Roots can also cause pressure issues, leading to bursting pipes, flooding, and property damage.
• Symptoms of tree root damage may include slow draining toilets, overflowing sinks, and unusual noises from the water supply.

How To Identify Tree Root Damage

To detect tree root damage, look for signs such as:

• Root growth at the foundation or base of your property.
• Visible roots emerging from the ground near your home or nearby water pipes.
• Changes in water pressure, unusual noises, or odors coming from the water supply.
• Damage to outdoor faucets, toilets, or other plumbing fixtures.
