Tree root removal clears roots that have grown into your sewer line, using a cable machine with a cutting head, high-pressure water, or both. You need it when the main line backs up or drains slow throughout the house and a camera or a previous plumber has found roots. We clear root-choked lines all over San Diego County, the Temecula Valley and the Inland Empire, and you see the footage of where they got in.
Roots do not break into sound pipe. They find a crack or a joint that has opened, follow the moisture inside, and grow. Clearing them restores flow, but the gap is still there, so they grow back. The real question after any root job is whether to keep clearing on a schedule or repair the joint.
Root trouble is most common in older clay and cast iron lines, the kind found under many older homes, but newer plastic lines can get roots at a joint or a break too. Root clearing is part of drain cleaning, and a camera tells you what comes next.
Flat, written price before work starts.
