One of the questions we hear at Duncan Plumbing is how to get rid of roots in the sewer line. Did you know that large tree root are at peak growth during the summer and are strong enough to break even sturdy sewer pipes? Trees will find the water source and once your pipes are compromised, you can treat roots only so long.

When you have repeated sewer back ups, it’s time to use a camera to inspect the line. A sewer camera shows you definitive proof what is really causing your back up by a video inspection the sewer line. It takes an experienced technician to do a thorough job. A video inspection of your sewer line will not only show you what is clogging your line but will examine the conditions of the sewer pipes. Things like broken pipes, tree roots, bends or breaks at the elbow or joints that catches paper waste as it comes down the pipes are all common causes of sewer back ups. You pay a little extra for a camera inspection but you know the exact problem with your sewer line, if there has been root intrusion and how long your sewer line will last.
