Drain Cleaning A Sewer In Kalamazoo
Drain Cleaning A Sewer In Kalamazoo, MI
Drain Cleaning A Sewer In Kalamazoo is what Drain Monkeys is all about, if your sewer is clogged then more than likely you have roots inside your sewer pipe. If you ask how roots can get into your pipe we have the answer to that.
Over time your sewer pipe can develop cracks in the pipe if its Cast-iron or clay tile pipe. This can happen over time some times even PVC pipes. As the years go by your sewer main can get brittle causing cracks or even breaks in your sewer pipe.
Once the roots get into your main line they will have a permanent water source. The roots will start out like hair line roots but over time they will get thicker and start to grow down the pipe. Roots can get as long as 12 feet or longer inside your pipe although it is rare. I have cleaned sewer for over 24 years And have seen this only a few times.
Roots from a tree can get bigger than 4 inches a round, so if you have seen where roots can push up a side walk just imagine what they can do to a sewer main.If you have PVC pipe most of the time the roots will grow into a joint that wasn't glued properly or at a fernco band where the PVC pipe will be joined together to a cast-iron pipe or clay tile pipe.
The roots from a tree can get as long as the tree is tall. So if you don't have a tree in your yard then it is possible the roots could be from a neighbors tree. There is no way to tell which tree is the cause of a root infestation causing your clog.
It is also possible that you could of had a big tree in your yard many years ago before you bought your home. Just cutting down a tree will not stop roots from growing into your sewer main. Remember roots only need a water source. After the tree is cut down then a backhoe needs to be used to dig up all the roots all the way down to your sewer pipe.
When we clean out sewer pipes and remove the roots out of the pipe this is only a temporary solution in most cases. Usually the roots will come back within 1 to 5 years in most cases.
