Answer:
Three to five times faster.
Root growth slows to near zero in cold soil below 40 degrees and accelerates dramatically as soil temperatures rise above 65 degrees in summer. A hairline crack in a pipe joint that was stable all winter becomes an active entry point by July. A root that enters a four-inch sewer pipe through a crack in June can reduce flow capacity by 50% before August. Full sewer clearing after root infiltration runs $400 to $900. A full pipe replacement after structural root damage runs $3,000 to $10,000.
Three months is all it takes to go from a small crack to a serious repair.
