Roots In Your Sewer Line, Save your Money with Maintenance

Roots in your sewer line can be a nightmare.  Especially if you have a plumber that is more interested in selling a repair as opposed to providing you with the best options.  In Southern California where I am located, a typical sewer line repair in dirt, not under concrete and at a depth of about 3 to 4 feet is typically about 3,000-4,000 dollars.  Depending on the pipe condition, that repair may not be necessary.  As long as the pipe is still intact, that problem spot can many times, be maintained with a regular cleaning. The important thing is a proper diagnosis, usually with a camera, to pinpoint the trouble spot and provide you with a plan to properly maintain that section of pipe.  Running a standard cable in the line, which most people opt for because it is the cheapest, is really not the best thing.  It tends to rip a hole in the roots but often leaves substantial amounts of roots in the line.  This gives the roots a head start at coming back.  And they will be back.  How often do you mow your lawn or trim your bushes in the yard.  What if you didn't trim the bushes for a year.  Now you get the idea.  Sewer roots need to be maintained. Hydro jetting is a much more effective way of removing roots.  Many times it is so effective that you can no longer see any evidence of roots in the sewer line after it has been hydro jetted. Combining this with a regular treatment of foaming root killer will usually save the property owner thousands of dollars and may allow you to skip that expensive repair indefinitely.
