Removal Of Tree Roots In Pipes

• Clear the blockage: The first step would be to clear the blockage caused by the tree roots. This can be done using a plumbing snake or a hydro jet, which is a high-pressure water stream used to clear clogs.
• Repair or replace the pipe: Once the blockage has been cleared, the plumber will assess the condition of the pipe. If the pipe has cracks or holes caused by the tree roots, it will need to be repaired or replaced.
• Install a root inhibitor: To prevent tree roots from growing into the pipes in the future, the plumber may install a root inhibitor, which is a chemical barrier that can be added to the pipes.
• Trim the roots: The plumber may also trim the roots of the tree causing the problem. This will prevent the roots from growing back into the pipes.
• Monitor the pipes: After the repair or replacement, the plumber will recommend regular monitoring of the pipes to ensure that the problem does not occur again.

It’s important to address tree roots growing in plumbing pipes as soon as possible, as it can lead to serious and costly damage to the pipes and the home’s plumbing system if left untreated.
