Roots in Clay Sewer Pipes: Signs for Westerville Homes

There’s nothing worse than realizing that the sewer system in your home is beginning to experience problems. The mess, hassle, and cost are enough to deter anyone, not to mention – how is it diagnosed? The necessarily out-of-sight aspect of most pipelines can translate to a very confusing and frustrating experience for the homeowner.

Look no further than DrainMaster! Our team of professional technicians and engineers are close by and ready to tackle the next challenge. First, we take the time to diagnose the problem.

Identifying the Source

If you’ve begun experiencing any or all of the below problems in your home, your pipes may have tree roots growing into them:

• Increased water bills that aren’t reflective of usage
• Sewage odors in the basement or bathroom
• Very low water pressure
• Patches of verdantly green grass in your backyard that won’t go away
• The home or the sewer system is older

It’s extremely important to get these smaller problems treated before they become major disasters. If there is indeed have a tree root problem, it’s easily solvable and repairs conducted within a reasonable time frame will keep the system secure. If ignored, you risk severe clogging, overflowing toilets or sinks, shattered pipes, and raw sewage backing up into basements or backyards.

A Precise Diagnosis

The only way to definitively diagnose the cause of your plumbing problem is a professional sewer camera inspection. Your DrainMaster technician will thread a small, high-definition camera into your sewer pipe, allowing our experts to gain a first-hand look at your pipelines. This not only reveals the overall health of the pipe and type of damage you’re suffering from, it also precisely pinpoints the location of your problem.

In the past, the diagnostic accuracy of even a professional plumber was limited to the educated guess method. Today, the camera inspection allows us to shave significant amounts of time from our jobs, not to mention reduce mess and associated clean-up costs! DrainMaster’s trenchless technology also makes the procedure minimally invasive, needing only a small hole to reach and access your whole pipeline system.
