East Tennessee is heavily wooded, and roots are one of the most common causes of sewer trouble here.
Why roots enter
Roots seek moisture and nutrients. A tiny joint gap or crack lets in a hair-thin root, which then thickens and spreads into a mass.
Why cutting alone is temporary
Cutting clears the pipe, but the opening remains. Roots tend to return until the gap is sealed.
What seals the opening
A cured-in-place liner removes joints and cracks, which takes away the door roots use. Replacement with new HDPE pipe does the same.
Protecting your trees
Trenchless methods avoid cutting a trench through the root zone, which helps keep valuable trees healthy.
A sensible sequence
Camera inspection, root cutting and cleaning, then lining or replacement. This order keeps the repair strong and the cost sensible.
