Common Signs of Root Intrusion
It doesn’t take much for tree roots to invade your sewer line. Once they enter, they feed on moisture and grow, eventually obstructing the flow of wastewater. Be aware of these early warning signs:
Recurring Drain Clogs
When drains seem to clear up temporarily after plunging but clog again soon after, it’s often a sign that tree roots have infiltrated your main sewer line. These persistent blockages trap waste and continue to cause issues until the roots are effectively removed.
Slow-Draining Sinks, Tubs & Toilets
If multiple fixtures are draining slowly, it could indicate that tree roots are restricting pipe capacity further down the system. The slower the drainage, the more serious the blockage likely is.
Gurgling Sounds in Pipes
Air gets trapped by roots forming partial blockages. That air releases through your fixtures, causing bubbling or gurgling sounds when water runs. It’s a sign roots could be disrupting pipe airflow.
Sewage Smells or Backups
As root growth worsens, wastewater may back up into your home. If you detect foul odours or see raw sewage in toilets, showers, or basements, it’s time to act quickly to avoid widespread damage.
If you’re noticing any of these problems, Furnasman offers prompt, expert services to clear sewer line root intrusion before it results in expensive damage.
What’s Included in Our Root Intrusion Solutions
Step 1: Drain Inspection & Root Detection
We begin with a sewer camera inspection to pinpoint where root intrusion has occurred and assess pipe condition. In many cases, early-stage root growth can be handled with hydro jetting or mechanical cutting before structural damage happens.
Step 2: Professional Root Removal
After detection, we remove the roots using high-pressure hydro jetting or specialized mechanical tools, depending on the severity. These methods completely clear root growth without damaging your pipes.
Step 3: Pipe Repair & Reinforcement
If roots have caused pipe cracks or deformation, we use trenchless pipe lining to seal the interior and prevent future intrusion. For more significant damage, we use pipe bursting or spot repair techniques—restoring integrity without large-scale digging.
Step 4: Preventive Maintenance & Future Protection
Ongoing maintenance is the best defense against root regrowth. We offer scheduled camera inspections, hydro jetting, and can even install root barriers to protect pipes from future tree root intrusion.

How Do Tree Roots Get into My Pipes?
Roots are drawn to moisture. Small cracks, loose joints, or aging materials in sewer pipes provide easy access. Once inside, roots absorb water and grow, creating blockages and damage that worsen over time.
Can I Remove Tree Roots Myself?
While DIY methods may offer temporary relief, they won’t address the root problem at its source. A professional is needed to completely remove tree root intrusion, repair the pipe, and prevent future issues.
Will Hydro Jetting Damage My Pipes?
When handled by experienced professionals, hydro jetting is a powerful and safe way to clear your pipes. This technique uses high-pressure water to remove clogs—such as tree root intrusions—without relying on harsh chemicals or disruptive excavation. Our team uses the appropriate pressure to clear away roots while protecting your plumbing system from damage.
How Can I Prevent Tree Roots from Coming Back?
Preventing roots from entering your sewer line begins with routine sewer camera inspections to detect early signs of growth. Applying root inhibitors can slow down regrowth within the pipes without affecting nearby trees, while trenchless pipe lining or replacing with PVC creates a smooth surface that resists root intrusion. If planting close to your sewer line, opt for trees with less aggressive root systems and consider adding root barriers to guide growth away from your pipes.
