Tree roots cause over 50% of sewer blockages. The more of the system they invade and the more parts need to be replaced, the more expensive repairs get. Therefore, it is to homeowners’ benefit to be on top of this possible threat so a plumber can be called immediately. The guide below further explores this problem. 

Sinkholes often indicate that a tree root has penetrated your sewage or water pipes. The subsequent leaks caused the ground to soften and then sink. Pooling water is a related sign. If a particular tree in your yard grows bigger and seems healthier than the rest, it might have found a prime source of nourishment by accessing your sewage system.
