Root Intrusion Repair
Tree roots slip into the smallest joint and cracks and grow into a mass that blocks the pipe. We remove them, then line the pipe so they cannot return.
The details, in plain English.
Roots chase the moisture and nutrients inside sewer pipes. They enter through tiny cracks and open joints, thicken over time and catch paper and grease until the line blocks. Cutting alone only buys a few months.
We clear the roots with cutters and hydro-jetting, camera the pipe, and then install a CIPP liner that seals every joint and crack. With no gap to enter, the roots have nothing to grow into.

- Lines with repeated root clogs
- Yards with mature trees

Questions, answered
Will roots grow through a liner?
A properly installed liner has no joints or cracks for roots to enter, and the resin wall is not a food source. Roots can still press from outside, which is why the liner is structural.
Do I have to remove my tree?
Usually not. Lining protects the pipe and leaves mature trees in place.
