Why Trenchless

Why Roots Keep Finding Your Sewer Line

Roots seek out moisture, and an aging clay or cast-iron sewer line — especially one with joints that have shifted slightly over the years — is exactly what tree roots near the line find. Once roots get a foothold at a joint, they spread along the inside of the pipe and catch everything that flows past, which is why root-clogged lines tend to back up again and again in the same spot.

The Process

How Root-Removal Jetting Works

  1. 01Camera Inspectionconfirms how far the roots extend and gives us a first look at the condition of the joint they got in through.
  2. 02Root-Cutting Nozzle Jettinga root-cutting nozzle shears the roots away from the full interior of the pipe, not just a channel through them.
  3. 03Post-Jet Camera Verificationa final camera pass confirms the roots are cleared and checks whether the joint itself needs a structural fix.
The Detail

When Jetting Isn't the Long-Term Fix

Jetting removes the roots that have grown into the line, but it doesn't change whatever let them in — a shifted joint or a crack keeps being an opening for the tree to find again. If the camera shows the joints themselves are the problem, cleaning it out repeatedly isn't the long-term fix; lining the pipe usually is.

Hydro jetting for root removal is priced the same as our other jetting work — starting at $375 for the first hour, with a free estimate and quote required. See Hydro Jetting & Drain Cleaning for full pricing and our free camera-inspection-with-cleaning offer.

When the camera shows the pipe joints themselves are compromised, we'll walk you through CIPP Pipe Lining — including our dedicated CIPP Lining for Root Intrusion Repair service — as the structural fix. We serve Augusta GA, North Augusta SC, Evans GA, Martinez GA, Grovetown GA, and Aiken SC.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do tree roots keep getting into my sewer line?
Roots grow toward moisture, and an aging clay or cast-iron line with a shifted or cracked joint gives them an entry point. Once inside, they spread along the pipe wall and catch debris, which is why the same line clogs repeatedly.
Can hydro jetting remove roots without digging up the yard?
Yes — a root-cutting nozzle clears roots from inside the existing pipe through an existing access point, with no excavation involved.
Will the roots grow back after jetting?
They can, if the joint or crack that let them in the first place is still open — jetting clears the roots but doesn't repair a compromised joint. If the camera shows that's the case, we'll recommend a structural fix like CIPP Pipe Lining.
How much does root-removal hydro jetting cost?
Starting at $375 for the first hour, the same rate as our other hydro jetting work, with a free estimate and quote required.
When does root intrusion need more than jetting?
When the camera inspection shows the pipe joints themselves are cracked, shifted, or otherwise compromised — at that point, cleaning the roots out repeatedly won't stop them from returning, and CIPP Pipe Lining or excavation repair addresses the joint itself.
