Yes, tree roots are one of the most common causes of serious drain problems in North Lindenhurst. Roots naturally seek moisture and nutrients, and your sewer lines provide both. Even small cracks or loose joints in pipes can invite roots to enter and grow.
Once inside, roots can grow rapidly, feeding off the organic matter in your wastewater. They can completely block pipes, cause backups, and even crack or collapse older pipe materials. Clay pipes and cast iron systems are particularly vulnerable to root damage.
The signs of root intrusion include slow drains throughout your home, gurgling sounds when you flush toilets, and sewage odors coming from drains. If you notice these symptoms, especially if you have large trees on or near your property, you should have a camera inspection to determine if roots are the culprit.
