    Don’t Let Tree Roots Ruin Your Sewer Line – Detect and Prevent Them With These Tips

    If you have a sewer line, it’s important to know how tree roots can damage it. Tree roots are attracted to the moisture in sewer lines, which can cause severe damage if they aren’t detected and prevented. This blog post will discuss detecting and preventing tree roots from damaging your sewer line. We will also provide tips on what to do if you already have a problem with tree roots.

    To detect tree roots in your sewer line, a professional inspection must be done. During this inspection, the technician will use specialized cameras and other equipment to identify any blockages or cracks in the pipe. If tree roots are found, they can be removed with special root cutters or high-pressure water jets. Removing them as soon as possible is important so that further damage does not occur.

    Once you have identified and removed the tree roots from your sewer line, it’s time to take steps to prevent it from happening again. To do this, start by pruning back any trees close to your sewer line. This will help reduce the moisture that attracts tree roots in the first place. You should also check your pipes regularly for any cracks or blockages that could be inviting tree roots. If you find any, have them repaired immediately to reduce the chances of a future tree root problem.

    Finally, if you already have a tree root problem in your sewer line, it’s important to take action quickly. Start by clearing the tree roots with professional root-cutting or high-pressure water jets. You should also contact a plumber to inspect and repair any damages caused by the tree roots. These steps will help protect your sewer line from further damage and extend its life.

    Tree roots can cause severe damage to your sewer line if they are not detected and prevented early on. Fortunately, there are several things you can do to detect and avoid tree roots from entering your sewer line. Have a professional inspection to identify any blockages or cracks in the pipe, prune back any trees close to your sewer line, and check for any cracks or blockages. If you already have a tree root problem, contact a plumber immediately and have the tree roots cleared out with special root cutters or high-pressure water jets. Taking these steps will help protect your sewer line from further damage and save you money in the long run.

    How to address a sewage leak in your home

    [vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Let’s talk about one of the most dreaded leaks that can happen in your home or business, a sewer leak.  Not only is this by far the most disgusting leak that can happen, but they can also be harmful to the health of your family.  Sewage produces a large number of gases.  This includes carbon dioxide, methane, chlorine, nitrous oxide, hydrogen sulfide, and sulfur dioxide.  Exposure to these gases can trigger people as well as animals in your home to suffer from a lack of oxygen, which can result in disorientation. The most common gas dangers from sewer leakages are hydrogen sulfide as well as methane. Hydrogen sulfide is hazardous and can create health issues such as headaches and also even death in high doses.

    Signs that you have a sewer main line leak

    All of the drains in your home exit through one main line into the city’s sewer system.  This important pipe works on a daily basis to remove waste and harmful materials from our homes and places of work.  Despite the important of this piping system, there is not alarm or warning signal that lets you know about underground leaks.  So, how do you know that a leak may be occurring?

    You will usually smell unpleasant odors.  When a water or sewer leak goes unnoticed it can cause rot and mold behind walls and underneath flooring.  This situation is an ideal habitat for bacteria to grow and thrive.  Unusual damp smells are a good warning sign that there has been an interior leak within your plumbing system.  You may also smell foul odors in your yard out around your property line.  This is a sign that an exterior leak has occurred as sewage begins to make its way into your yard and lawn.

    Look for and inspect cracks in your home.  We all know that water erodes everything it comes in contact with over time.  A clear signal that you may be dealing with a water or sewer leak is that cracks are beginning to occur.  It is highly recommend that you call a sewer leak detection company in Salt Lake City as quickly as possible.  Doing so will help you to avoid larger damage as the running liquid may begin to ruin the foundation of your home.
