What to Do When Roots Invade Your Sewer Line

Tree roots are powerful—and they love the moisture inside your underground sewer pipes. If they break in, you could be facing a major (and messy) backup.

Warning Signs:

• Frequent toilet clogs or slow draining
  
  

• Gurgling sounds from your toilet
  
  

• Wet spots or indentations in your yard
  
  

• Foul sewer smells around your home
  
  

What Happens:

Roots grow into tiny cracks, expand inside the pipe, and trap debris. Over time, this blocks your sewer flow completely.

What to Do:

• Don’t ignore the signs.
  

• Avoid flushing anything that could catch on roots.
  

• Call a plumber with camera inspection tools to confirm the issue.
  

At Acadiana Rooter, we use advanced root-cutting equipment and trenchless repair options to solve the problem without digging up your yard.
