Fix-It Right Plumbing, based in Australia, comments that with spring just around the corner, Melbourne homeowners are being warned to be on alert for one of the season’s most common - and costly - plumbing problems: tree roots invading underground pipes.
While the warmer months bring sunshine and fresh blooms above ground, the change in season also fuels aggressive root growth below the surface. Even the smallest crack in a pipe can be enough for roots to push through, seeking out the constant source of water within. Once inside, they can multiply quickly, causing blockages, cracks, or even complete pipe collapse.
