Tree Root Removal

The City of Meridian names deep-rooted plants as a cause of sewer blockages. Roots enter at a loose fitting or crack and form a mat that catches paper. In Meridian, ID, a slow drain that keeps returning is a common sign.

Clearing the roots
A plumber typically works from the cleanout with a cable machine and cutting blade or a jetter with a root nozzle, then runs a camera to find the entry point.

Repair or replace?
Clearing roots restores flow for a while, but their opening remains. The footage shows whether one bad fitting can be fixed or a longer run should be lined or replaced.

Call about roots in your sewer and say when the line was last cleared.
