Sewage Line Root Intrusion – Photos of Inspection & Repair


See what sewage line root intrusion looks like and how your plumbing pipes are inspected and repaired through photos taken on the job by the plumbers at Ted & Bros. Plumbing in Anaheim, California.


What is root intrusion? How serious is it?


Root intrusion is one of the most serious types of damage that a sewer drainage system can face. Tree roots are strong and grow powerfully, often destroying structures all around them. In the case of tree root intrusion in sewer lines, the root typically penetrates a small hole in the pipe. Beginning slowly and then gaining speed, this tree root will eventually travel great distances underneath commercial and residential structure under the slab of property. This growth greatly threatens the sewer system’s ability to function properly.

  • What are some signs of root intrusion?

    Root growth in the sewer line will lead to a complete system blockage in which nothing will go down your drains or toilets. Before this point, you will notice some or all of the following signs:

    • Slow Drains – If one or two drains are slow, then the blockage is probably in those drains themselves. However, if most or all of the drains in your home start to drain slowly at the same time, then you should suspect tree root growth is to blame.
    • Poor Flushing – Your toilets may begin flushing only partially, or you may notice some sewage beginning to back up into the toilet after you flush.
    • Unpleasant Odors – Lingering sewage odors coming from your drains and toilets may indicate that sewage is sitting in your pipes rather than draining properly. Then again, you may just have soap buildup and grime coating the insides of your pipes. This is why it’s important to have a plumber come check your system rather than just assuming you have roots in your sewer line.
  • What should you do?

    Once this problem continues to grow, homeowners will need to contact a pipe repair company. Fortunately, vast technological strides have made the pipe repair and replacement process easier and more efficient than ever before. Using a structural lining, the sewer drainage pipe is lined to not only repair the current damages, but to prevent future damages from tree roots. The advanced pipelining process creates a “sleeve” inside of the pipe that becomes a seamless liner able to seal and eliminate all types of potential water leaks.

Sewer Liners For Pipe Repair


See how sewer liners are used for pipe repair on the job by the plumbers at Ted & Bros. Plumbing in Anaheim, California.


What is a sewer liner?


Sewer pipe lining is a process used for repairing and replacing cracked, leaking, backed up and damaged sewer lines. Using a “no dig” trenchless process to avoid yard excavation, sidewalk destruction or digging up trees, sewer lining involves inserting new epoxy-saturated pipe tubing into existing pipes, inflating the tubing and curing it into place with hot air, steam or blue light LED technology. This results in a new seal lining the walls of existing pipes, replacing broken piping with the potential to last for decades.

  • Is sewer pipe lining good?

    Lining sewer pipes save residential and commercial properties up to 75% in costs as compared to replacing the old pipe with a new one. The cost of labor goes down as less hours are needed to complete the trenchless operation. It’s simply the best value out of all the repair methods just about anywhere else.

  • How long does sewer lining last?

    A pipe that has pipe lining in it is unlikely to corrode over time as easily as pipes without the lining. The lining is very durable and will last in your pipes upwards of 50 years.
