Root Killer

Trees love your sewer pipes! Well, their roots do anyhow. Homeowners are responsible for the lateral sewer lines that connect them to the city wastewater system. Here are a few tips to keep tabs on your access lines and signs that they may be in trouble. 

1.       Know your pipe’s location. You can’t protect what you can’t find. Have the utilities mark where your sewer lateral lines are located. Make notes and a scaled drawing for future reference.

2.       Look for problem trees. A few tree species standout as potential problem starters:

a.      Poplars, Cottonwoods, & Aspens

b.      Willow trees

c.      American Elm

d.      Silver Maple

3.       Take swift action. Tree roots in your sewer laterals will only get worse. Pressure from expanding roots coupled with increased growth inside the lines will result in costly repairs and removal.
