Tree Root Removal
Tree root removal clears invasive roots from sewer lines to restore flow and prevent recurring blockages and backups.
Signs you may have roots in your sewer line
- Clogs that keep returning even after cleaning
- Slow drains throughout the house
- Gurgling drains or toilets
- Sewage smells outside near the foundation or yard
- Backups during rain (roots can trap debris and worsen restrictions)
- Roots visible on a camera inspection
Why it’s common in Hamilton + GTA
Many homes have:
- mature trees close to the line
- older clay tile pipes with joints that roots can penetrate
- seasonal ground movement that opens small gaps roots exploit
How we do it (the right way)
- We typically confirm root intrusion with a TV inspection
- We remove roots using the appropriate cutting method
- We flush and clean the line to clear root debris
- We recommend next-step prevention:
- routine maintenance
- sewer lining when appropriate for long-term protection
Seasonal note
Roots grow aggressively in warmer months, but backups often occur in spring/fall when water flow increases and debris accumulates.
