As roots grow, they seek moisture, often entering small cracks in underground pipes. Over time, they expand, restricting water flow and leading to severe plumbing issues like blockages, slow drains, and pipe damage.
At Arnold & Sons Plumbing, we specialize in sewer line rooting to remove invasive roots and restore proper drainage. Using advanced technology, we locate and eliminate root blockages to keep your sewer system functioning properly.
Proudly serving our Peoria neighbors since 1988, you can trust us to provide long-lasting solutions. We are available 24/7 to handle sewer emergencies. Call (309) 691-8291 or schedule service online today.
Understanding Tree Root Intrusions in Sewer Lines
Tree roots are one of the leading causes of sewer blockages, especially in older homes with clay or cast-iron pipes. Once inside, they absorb moisture and grow rapidly, leading to blockages and potential pipe collapse.
Warning Signs of Root Intrusion
If you notice any of these issues, it may be time for a professional sewer line inspection:
- Slow Draining Fixtures – Water taking longer to drain from sinks, bathtubs, or toilets can indicate root blockages.
- Frequent Backups – If plunging or drain cleaners provide only temporary relief, you may be dealing with sewer roots.
- Unpleasant Odors – A persistent sewage smell suggests waste is getting trapped by roots.
- Gurgling Noises – Bubbling sounds from toilets or drains may indicate trapped air caused by root intrusion.
- Lush Green Patches in Your Yard – Rapidly growing grass in one area of your yard may signal a sewer leak due to sewer roots.
Ignoring these issues can lead to costly repairs. If you suspect roots in your sewer line, contact Arnold & Sons Plumbing for a professional evaluation.
