A beautiful garden and a green lawn can quickly turn into a costly headache when tree roots find their way into your sewer lines. Even a tiny crack in a pipe can allow roots to invade, causing blockages and serious damage. Thankfully, modern technologies and experienced professionals like the team at A&V Drain offer effective, long-lasting solutions for homeowners across Toronto and the GTA.
Why Roots Are the Biggest Threat to Your Pipes
- Natural growth: roots constantly seek water and nutrients, easily penetrating cracks or weak spots in pipes.
- Accumulation over time: as roots grow, they create major clogs, leading to backups and slow drainage.
- Severe consequences: left untreated, root intrusion can cause pipe collapse, foundation damage, and expensive repairs — especially in older homes.
Modern Solutions to Root Intrusion
At A&V Drain, two highly effective methods are used to remove roots and extend the lifespan of your plumbing system:
- Hydro Jetting: A powerful stream of water under high pressure that clears away roots, grease, and debris without damaging your pipes. This method works safely on PVC, clay, and cast iron lines.
- Video Camera Inspection: Before treatment, specialists perform a detailed camera inspection to identify problem areas inside your pipes. This ensures precise, cost-effective solutions tailored to your home’s needs.
