Tree Root Removal
Pipes getting attacked by tree roots? Need tree root removal services? RooterMan specializes in tree root removal! We can get rid of those pesky tree roots. A lot of homeowners and businesses don’t know that clogged or blocked drains can be caused by tree roots encroaching on drain pipes. Tree roots can damage septic tanks and drain fields too. Waste water is rich in plant nutrients such as phosphorus and that acts as a magnet to tree and shrub roots. Clogged drain pipes, leaking, or even cracked septic tanks due to tree roots is fairly common and no doubt causes a headache for property owners.
How RooterMan can eliminate tree roots
- Video camera pipe inspection – RooterMan employs several methods to locate where the stubborn tree roots are and to determine the extent of the damage they have caused. Sometimes identifying pipe damage caused by tree roots can only be done with a video camera pipe inspection. After we find where the problem is and complete the necessary work needed to remove the tree roots, we will again use the video camera to verify the problem is gone for good!
- Drain snaking auger – tree roots can be removed from a drain pipe with the use of a drain snake that has a rotating auger connected to the end of the cable. The rotating auger slices the roots and opens up the drains to allow the water and waste to flow freely.
- Water jetting- another common method of removing tree roots from drain pipes is with the use of a high pressure water jetting system. The procedure involves blowing the tree roots out of the pipes by blasting the pipe with a high pressured water jet.
RooterMan has the expertise and equipment needed to perform everything that is required to get the roots out of your drain pipes and repair the damage they have caused.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the most common signs of tree root damage in sewer lines in Northeast Ohio?
In Erie, Meadville, and surrounding Crawford County areas, common signs include slow drains, frequent backups, gurgling noises, and sewage odors. Tree roots are naturally drawn to moisture in pipes and can break through small cracks, causing major blockages and damage. RooterMan can quickly identify and remove root intrusions.
How much does tree root removal cost in Hermitage and nearby areas?
Tree root removal costs typically range from 300 to 1,000 dollars depending on the severity of the blockage and the method used. More extensive damage may require additional repairs. RooterMan provides upfront pricing and effective solutions to restore your plumbing system.
How do tree roots get into sewer and drain pipes?
Tree roots enter pipes through small cracks, loose joints, or weak spots in aging sewer lines. Once inside, they continue to grow and expand, eventually causing clogs or even pipe breaks. Properties in areas like Greenville and Sharon often experience this due to mature trees and older infrastructure.
What methods are used to remove tree roots from pipes?
RooterMan uses several professional methods including video camera inspections to locate the problem, drain snaking with cutting augers to break up roots, and high pressure water jetting to clear out debris. These methods ensure the pipes are fully cleared and functioning properly.
Can tree root damage be prevented in Northeast Ohio and Western Pennsylvania?
While tree roots cannot always be completely prevented, regular inspections and maintenance can catch issues early before major damage occurs. Homes in areas like New Castle and Grove City benefit from routine service. RooterMan offers expert inspections and long term solutions to help protect your sewer lines.
