What poses the most danger to your plumbing system? You might think it’s heavy machinery, high water pressure, severe degradation and corrosion over time, extreme conditions and other serious events and mishaps that are the biggest problems – and they most certainly are problems! But one of the leading causes of pipe, plumbing & drain blockages and severe damage is often less talked about – so let’s take the opportunity right now to talk about tree roots in pipes.
First up, let’s not blame the innocent trees, ok? Just remember, every tree’s root system is simply in search for the most nutrient-rich sources of sustenance. And what could be more inviting than all of that moist pipe, drain and sewer gunk housed in the dark, moist, warm plumbing system environment that lies on just the other side of a tiny pipe crack? Once a single, tiny root wiggles in, the clock is ticking on the development of a large and compact tree root mass that can cause all sorts of trouble for your all-important plumbing system, daily life, and hip pocket.
