Think you have roots inside your pipes?
Roots systems are small and large permanent roots that are used for stabilization and feeding for trees. The small roots are primarily responsible for absorption of water and essential nutrients. Roots systems are responsible for sustaining the tree’s life; therefore they can extend as far as seven times the height of tree in search for water and nutrients.
In times of drought or during the winter, roots travel in search of moisture. They follow trails of moisture vapors that may be escaping from poorly sealed joints, holes, or cracks in sewer and water lines. The roots then penetrate the pipes and fill it with hair-like roots clogging all matter coming from homes and businesses. The tree root mass in pipes reduce the flow and slow the drains.
If these roots aren’t removed, they continue to expand while at the same time exerting pressure that may result in additional fractures in the pipe. In extreme cases the blockage can lead to total collapse of the pipes and more costly repairs.
With the use of tree root machinery, AnJ PLUMBING technicians remove tree roots and other obstructions from drain lines allowing your system to have a normal and danger-free flow.
The drain lines are cleared by cutting the tree roots and using high pressure hydro-jetting
to remove them. Our technicians may also recommend
additional services that can help you prevent future blockage.
