Tree roots, while essential for the health and stability of trees, can pose significant dangers to residential plumbing systems. As trees seek out moisture, their roots naturally grow towards underground water sources, including sewer and water pipes. This seemingly benign process can lead to severe and costly damage to the home's plumbing infrastructure. Among the primary dangers of tree root infiltration are blockages, pipe damage, sewer line intrusion, foundation damage, and increased repair costs.

Tree roots can infiltrate and grow inside pipes, leading to significant blockages. These blockages prevent the normal flow of water and waste, causing backups and potentially damaging a homeowner's plumbing system. Symptoms include slow drains, gurgling sounds, and frequent clogs. As roots grow, they can pressure pipes, causing them to crack, break, or even collapse.
