You may have learned to love your maple tree like family, by watching it grow strong over the years. However, not only does the outside look strong, but the roots are strong as well and capable of doing damage when invading your sewer lines. Many homeowners find that their backed up sewer lines are a result of the root system of a large tree in their yards or front lawns.
This is a common occurrence, as the roots of a tree will look for nutrients and moisture found in a sewer line. If you suspect that roots from that maple tree have invaded your sewer lines or want to prevent this from happening in the future, the best choice is to call a professional to inspect the situation, and locate a problem or potential issue in time.
Sewer repair may be costly, including damage to your sewer lines, plumbing, water heater, and drain cleaning. However, if you have large trees in your property, a call may save you tons of money in the future. Trained professionals are able to locate sewage problems and by using specialized equipment such as transmitters to locate and trace the lines.
Plastic and concrete sewer lines are more difficult to trace because they are non-conductible materials, which do not send a signal. Because of this, fiberglass reels, and video monitoring equipment may be necessary. A professional plumbing company will be skilled in doing this type of work.
