Trenchless Root Removal
Tree roots are the #1 enemy of older sewer lines. We cut and clear invasive roots — then line the pipe so they can't grow back through the seams.
Clear the Roots, Then Keep Them Out for Good
Tree and shrub roots are drawn to the moisture and nutrients in your sewer line. They invade through tiny cracks and joints, then expand until they choke off flow and cause backups.
We remove root intrusion with mechanical cutting and high-pressure hydro jetting, clearing the line back to full flow. But cutting roots alone is only temporary — they always grow back through the same seams.
That's why we recommend trenchless pipe lining after root removal. A seamless, jointless liner leaves no cracks or joints for roots to re-enter, solving the problem permanently instead of every couple of years.
Signs of Root Intrusion
- Gurgling toilets & drains
- Slow, recurring backups
- Sewage odors in the yard
- Multiple fixtures backing up
- Sinkholes or lush patches over the line

Root Removal FAQs
Why do roots keep coming back after cutting? +
Cutting removes the roots temporarily, but they regrow through the same cracks and joints. Lining the pipe seals those entry points permanently.
How do roots get into my sewer line? +
They're attracted to moisture and nutrients and enter through tiny cracks and pipe joints, then expand inside the line.
Do I have to remove the tree? +
Not necessarily. Trenchless lining seals the pipe against roots, so you can often keep your trees and still solve the problem.
How do I know roots are the problem? +
Gurgling drains, recurring backups, and sewage odors are common signs. A camera inspection confirms root intrusion and its location.
