Root intrusion is one of the most common reasons for a sewer back up if not a collapsed or cracked pipe. What starts out as a small issue can soon grow into a big problem.
The roots of trees and shrubs in your yard are naturally attracted to the moisture in your drain and sewer lines, which acts as a kind of natural fertilizer. When these roots start to grow around or even into the line, they can cause severe issues or clogs, interfering with your entire main sewer line.
Root intrusion can be hard to prevent. It is also hard to detect. However, with a video camera inspection, Grimm’s Plumbing Services can identify whether you are dealing with root intrusion or compromised pipe and pinpoint the specific spot where roots have entered your line.
