Cutting roots clears a line, but the roots return because the entry points remain. Root intrusion repair removes the roots and then seals the pipe so they cannot get back in. Lining or point repair closes joints and cracks, creating a smooth jointless surface. This is the lasting answer to root problems in tree-filled neighborhoods across East Tennessee.
We camera the line to see how many entry points there are, cut the roots, and then choose between point repair for a few spots or full lining for many. We explain the trade-offs honestly and how fast roots tend to return in your pipe. The result is a clear pipe and a sealed one.
