Did you know that tree roots have a high growth rate during the early weeks of fall? The sudden growth of roots can lead to plumbing issues when roots find their way into plumbing pipes. Most home water waste lines pass through front or back yards where trees and bushes roots can find cracks and cause major blockages. If you notice sudden changes in shower drainage or toilet flushing, you should consider the risk of tree doing plumbing damage.
Slow draining or gurgling while water is going down are two of the most noticeable signs. Many times a homeowner will opt for a quick pipe snake to but the clog, but if the problem continues you should have a more explorative look from a professional plumbing contractor the specializes in video drain inspections, like Prestige Plumbing.
While sinkholes are a little less common, spots in your yard that seem to be sinking or extra wet can be a good way to identify the spot the problem area. When a tree root begins to damage a pipe, water will seep out into the dirt sounding. Spots that are suddenly constantly wet are a great signal to new water being introduced to the ground. Plants and trees that have taken sudden growth or are remaining green could be signs of them being exposed to the additional water from pipes being absorbed into their roots.
Often times when a tree root begins to crack and grow into a pipe, dirt frequently comes with it. The introduction of dirt to your plumbing system can lead to odors in your home. Musty odors and smells similar to rotten eggs are two of the telltale odors of a plumbing problem. Odors will be stronger near drains, especially that are not used frequently.
