About This Project

We were called out to a Glendale property experiencing recurring sewer issues caused by heavy tree root intrusion. Camera inspection revealed that roots had fully penetrated and cracked an aging clay sewer line, creating a major blockage and increasing the risk of collapse. We excavated the affected area, removed the damaged clay section, cleared all root material, and installed a new ABS pipe with a secure, code-compliant transition. Once complete, the sewer line was tested to verify proper flow and overall integrity. Addressing this type of issue early helps homeowners avoid full sewer replacement and prevents costly property damage.

Project FAQ

Common questions about this sewer line repair project.

Tree roots naturally grow toward moisture and nutrients. Clay sewer pipes have joints that can separate or crack over time, allowing roots to enter the pipe. Once inside, roots expand and create blockages that worsen over time.
