What are Tree Roots?
Tree roots are the underground structures that support the tree's growth and provide nutrients to the plant. However, they can also cause significant damage to properties if not properly managed.
- Roots can grow up to 10 feet deep into the ground
- They can cause pipes to burst or water mains to rupture
- They can lead to foundation issues and structural problems in buildings
Why Do Tree Roots Cause Damage?
Toxic soil conditions, insect infestations, and disease can all contribute to root growth. Additionally, tree roots can grow faster than the surrounding soil, leading to increased pressure on underlying infrastructure.
What Solutions Are Available?
Plumber services are one of the most common solutions for fixing tree root damage. However, there are also alternative methods to consider, such as:
- Soil remediation and excavation
- Root grafting and cabling
- Tree pruning and removal
