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)

  1. We typically confirm root intrusion with a TV inspection
  2. We remove roots using the appropriate cutting method
  3. We flush and clean the line to clear root debris
  4. 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.
