Root removal and sewer repair that keeps your trees and yard intact.
Tree Root Sewer Repair for Santa Clarita Homes
Tree roots are one of the most common causes of sewer line damage, and our dry climate makes the problem worse. Roots spread out looking for water, and a sewer line with a small crack or loose joint gives off both moisture and nutrients. Once a root finds that opening, it grows inside the pipe and forms a dense mat that catches everything flowing past. The result starts as slow drains and occasional clogs, then turns into backups, broken pipes, and in some cases, damage to your yard or foundation.Â
Rowland Plumbing, Cooling, Heating & Electrical removes roots from sewer lines and repairs the damage they leave behind, and we’ll recommend the approach that protects both your plumbing and the trees you want to keep. That matters in Santa Clarita, where oak trees are protected by city ordinance.
Signs Roots Have Reached Your Sewer Line
Root intrusion happens underground, so you won’t see it until it starts causing problems. By then, the roots have usually been growing inside the pipe for a while. Catching the early signs gives you more repair options and a smaller bill.
Watch for these warning signs:
- Toilets and drains that gurgle after use
- Clogs in the same drain that keep coming back
- Several drains slowing down at the same time
- Water backing up into a tub or shower when a toilet is flushed
- A sewage smell inside the house or out in the yard
- A patch of lawn that's greener or grows faster than the rest
- Soggy ground or sinkholes along the sewer line's path
- Visible sewage near a cleanout or in the yard
- Large trees or shrubs planted near where the sewer line runs
Get Help Before the Roots Spread
If any of these sound familiar, give us a call. During business hours, we can usually have a plumber at your door within 60 minutes. We’ll run a video inspection to confirm whether roots are the cause and see how much damage they’ve done. From there, we’ll walk you through your options.Â
That could mean cutting the roots out and cleaning the line with hydro jetting, a root treatment to slow regrowth, or pipe relining that seals the pipe so roots can’t get back in. If the line is badly damaged, we’ll explain your sewer repair options, including trenchless methods that avoid digging near your trees.
