Question: There are tree roots in my drain. What do I do?
How tree roots get into stormwater and sewer drainage:
Sewer and stormwater drains are subject to crack over time due to ground movement. Tree roots penetrate the fractures in the d
rain, seeking moisture and nutrients. As the tree roots continue to grow and follow the water source, the more damage is caused to your drainage system. Roots will stop the drain from flowing freely and will cause the waste water to back up and flow out of your overflow relief gully or into your home if left for too long.
