After successive years of dry and warm temps, it’s been such a blessing to have such consistent rain this year, but with so much rain lately, there has been a dramatic increase in the number of calls associated with blocked drains. The best environment for roots to grow in is cultivated soil where warmth, nutrients and moisture are abundant and easily accessible – which is pretty much the definition of a sewer pipe.Â
Â
Sewer pipes are found and laid in the ground and backfilled with fine stone and soil. The effluent in the pipe is warmer than soil outside the pipe which creates condensation on the outside of the pipe near cracks and imperfections in the pipe. The condensation vapours travel to the surface, leading roots to the pipe defects and into the pipe. Inside the pipe, there is an abundance of nutrients and moisture available for the roots, and they will thrive in this nutrient-rich environment.
Â
Once your drains have been compromised, this will be a continuous supply of water and nutrients for the trees. The roots will continue to grow longer and thicker into the sewer or stormwater drains and eventually cause a blockage. Each time this problem is fixed by a blocked drain plumber with a water jetter or electric eel, the roots will grow back faster and thicker, just like if you cut a branch off a plant, generally two will grow back. Therefore, we always offer our customers a permanent solution plan if the pipes have tree root intrusion, as they will 100% be back to clog your pipes again.
