Root Removal
Root Removal Services
Root intrusion is one of the most common causes of sewer and septic system blockages. Trees and shrubs can send roots into small cracks or joints in pipes, creating clogs that lead to slow drains, backups, and costly repairs. Rechel Septic has the experience, tools, and techniques to remove roots safely and effectively, restoring your system’s flow and preventing further damage.
Why Root Intrusion Happens
Tree roots seek water
Pipes carrying wastewater are an attractive source of moisture for nearby trees.
Cracks and pipe joints
Roots can penetrate even tiny gaps in older or damaged piping.
Gradual growth
What starts as a small intrusion can grow over time, leading to full blockages.
If you notice slow drains, gurgling toilets, or unusual odors around your yard, root intrusion may be the cause.
