Tree Roots in Pipes: What Dayton Homeowners Should Know
If your drains are backing up or your yard smells like sewage, invasive tree roots could be the problem. This issue is common in older Dayton neighborhoods where mature trees and aging sewer lines share the same space. At CPR – Complete Pipe Repair, we help local homeowners stop root damage before it becomes a significant mess.
Why Tree Roots Invade Sewer Lines
Tree roots are naturally drawn to moisture and nutrients. Even a small crack in your sewer line can attract roots, especially in older clay or cast iron pipes. Once they find their way in, the roots expand and multiply, clogging the pipe or splitting it apart.
This can lead to:
- Repeated clogs or slow drains
- Gurgling sounds or foul odors
- Sewage backups inside your home
- Cracked or collapsed sewer lines
Signs You Might Have a Root Problem
If you live in an established part of Dayton and experience any of the following, roots could be the reason:
- Backups in toilets or basement floor drains
- Wet spots or soft ground in your yard
- Sewer odors around your home
- Increased drain cleaning calls without a lasting fix
How CPR Fixes Root Intrusion Without Digging
We start with video pipe inspection to confirm the location and severity of the problem. Once we’ve assessed the damage, we can recommend one of the following trenchless options:
- Hydrojet drain cleaning to cut and flush out root growth
- CIPP lining to seal cracks and prevent roots from returning
- Full sewer line repair if the pipe is severely damaged
We eliminate root problems with zero excavation, saving your lawn, driveway, and landscaping.
