Tree Roots In Your Pipes

You have probably heard of tree roots in pipes before but have you ever seen it?

If you live in a more mature neighbourhood with lots of trees lining the streets there is a good chance your pipes look like this. In these neighbourhoods, there are lots of clay pipes making it easy for trees to come on in and grab water with their nice big roots. On years when it is especially dry (like the last few summers we have had), this is even more prevalent.

So what do you do about these tree roots? Every 2 years at minimum you should get your lines cleared to prevent backup and clogs from happening. Easy maintenance that will save you thousands of dollars.
