Tree roots can make their way into your sewer lines in search of water and nutrients. As they grow inside your pipes, they can create a blockage and completely stop the flow of water. This can lead to leaks, burst pipes, and other serious plumbing issues. At Dynamic Drains, we specialize in sewer repair in Ann Arbor, MI, and can help homeowners deal with roots in their sewer pipes. Here’s what we recommend:

Schedule Hydro Jetting Services

One of the best ways to get rid of any roots in your sewer system is through professional hydro jetting. This popular method of drain cleaning uses powerful blasts of water to clear any blockage in the sewer pipe line, including tree roots.

After hydro jetting, we then perform a sewer inspection to see if the tree roots damaged the pipe. We look for any cracks, leaks, and weakened joints and provide sewer line replacement and repair when necessary.

Follow With Pipe Repair

Once we determine the extent of the damage, we provide the appropriate sewer repair services. Pipe bursting and pipe lining are some examples of trenchless solutions that we offer. Unlike traditional repair methods, trenchless repairs do not require excavation and can be completed within a few hours, so there are less disruptions on your property.

Relocate Trees That Are Near Your Sewer Line

After we repair or replace sewer line, we would recommend that you relocate any trees that are near your sewer line. As they mature, the roots of these trees will eventually grow out and can invade your sewer system again. Relocating them will ensure that you won’t experience this problem later on.

When you need sewer line repair for tree root invasions or any other sewer issue, don’t hesitate to contact Dynamic Drains for quality and efficient solutions. Schedule an appointment with our professional team today.
