Tree roots can wreak havoc on sewer pipes, causing blockages and damage that lead to costly repairs. Recently, the LWD team discovered a tree root growing inside a sewer main line, highlighting the importance of keeping roots out of both sewer mains and homeowner laterals.
Our Field Service Technicians diligently check and clean manholes and lines to prevent such issues. Homeowners can help by planting trees away from sewer lines and inspecting their laterals every other year. Together, we can protect our sewer system and ensure smooth, uninterrupted service for all.
