Winter is finally gone and the spring greening process has begun. We see all the growing buds, leaves and new life above ground, but what’s growing in the ground can cause headaches. To support all the growth above ground there is typically an equal amount of root growth below. This root growth can wreck havoc on your home’s plumbing.

Clogged Sewer Line

Although root growth isn’t the only reason for sewer blockages, they are certainly a common culprit in the spring and summer months. Homes that have trees planted near the path of the sewer main are susceptible to issues due to root intrusions. These intrusions can often be cleared by having a plumber snake the sewer line, if not cleared or is a reoccurring issue having a plumber camera your sewer is a must to provide the best plan of resolution.

There are various reasons your drain can clog. Without being able to see the source of the issue it is hard for a plumber to know for certain if the issue is fully resolved, even after the obstruction has been removed. Using a sewer camera an experienced plumber will be able to find the source of the issue and determine if repairs are needed. The camera also allows the exact location of the damage to be found, minimizing the excavation required.

Sewer Repair

When a sewer issue like a broken or collapsed pipe happens excavation is commonly required. These types of issues most commonly are located between the home and the city main and are a repair many reputable plumbing contractors will provide an estimate to complete.
