Understanding Root Intrusion in West Park Sewer Lines

Tree roots naturally seek out water sources, and your sewer line provides both moisture and nutrients. Even tiny cracks or loose joints in pipes can attract roots, leading to serious blockages and potential pipe damage. This is particularly common in older neighborhoods like Jefferson and Bellaire-Puritas where aging infrastructure meets established landscaping.

Warning Signs of Root Intrusion

  • Slow-draining fixtures throughout your home
  • Gurgling sounds from toilets and drains
  • Sewage backups in basement fixtures
  • Lush, green patches in your lawn along sewer lines
  • Frequent clogs requiring professional intervention
