Tree roots can become a real problem for homeowners, especially when it comes to their impact on plumbing systems. They can cause blockages and damage to pipes, resulting in costly repairs. There’s good news, though, and that’s there are a few preventative things you can do to avoid tree roots from interfering with your plumbing system.
Tree roots are one of the most common sources of plumbing problems. As trees grow, their roots spread out in search of water and nutrients and can cause significant damage to underground pipes as they do so.
In this article, we’ll explore how tree roots grow and why they can pose such a problem for plumbing systems.
The roots of trees can affect your drainage pipes in several ways, and so it’s wise to know how they grow and what can be done to prevent them from causing problems. As the roots extend, they break through the soil and can infringe on your pipe system.
This can cause the pipes to break, damaging the drainage system of your home and resulting in leaks. Damaged pipes can be expensive to fix, especially if the problem is extensive. Prevention is always better than repair, but if you suspect tree root damage act swiftly to make sure the situation doesn’t get worse.
Of course, tree roots are essential for the growth and good health of a tree, but that doesn’t mean they don’t pose a potential problem for the structures around them. Tree roots can grow much deeper than the visible portion of the tree, and as they grow, they can push up against or even break the foundations of a building.
If tree roots are left to grow under a home’s foundation, there’s a good chance they’ll compromise the structural integrity and that’s when huge repair bills come in.
The best way to prevent problems with tree roots and your plumbing system is to have your home’s plumbing inspected regularly by a professional plumber and if repairs are needed, it’s important the work is done by someone qualified and licensed.
