Tree roots in drain in San Francisco is quite a common problem. Everyone loves to have trees in their homes as they add beauty and bring more good things to life than bad. At first we might not think that a tree or its root can actually cause the most inconvenient problem for us. The tree roots when they creep in into seers or pipes can cause irreparable damage to them that we may need to remove the pipes or replace the whole sewer tank in a totally new place altogether. The costs run very high for such projects. How do roots get into the pipes? Roots grow in search of water, nutrients and oxygen. The roots get all these things in the pipes and sewers of the household and since pipes and sewers are located under the ground they can easily find their way inside. Of all the household plumbing expenditure the damages caused due to roots growing into sewer tanks is the worst of all and the most expensive of all. If you look around you find trees everywhere in people’s homes, outside on the pavements and more importantly we need the trees.

In San Francisco the home owner is responsible for the maintenance of the pipe leading to the lateral of the sewer from the pavement and any problem with it should be taken care of by the home owner only. If the home owner ignores the problem because it is directly not located in their house and causing inconvenience to the neighbors and the community then the home owner will be penalized. So if there is a problem then there is no choice but to rectify it. How does a person know that the roots have been growing inside the sewer or the pipe? Unfortunately the home owner comes to know of the problem only when it shows up. Because the pipes and the sewer tanks are located underground most of us do not know what is going on. By the time we know there is a problem it is too late because the roots have already grown deep inside and created a blockade and that is how we know of the underlying problem.

However if you do notice problems like slow flowing drains then you should consider this as a early warning or signal that roots might be getting into the drainage system. It may be worth the effort to get it checked by a plumber and if possible nip the problem in its budding stage. Also when the water is going down the drain you will hear a gurgle which means that the water is pushing its way down and is not flowing with ease. This should also send some warning signals to you that there is an underlying problem that needs your attention. The problem of roots can also be avoided if you schedule regular cleaning of the sewer. Sign up with a sewer cleaning or repair service on a yearly basis to clean it as a procedure. This way you can assure that future problems with the drainage will be taken care of on time and you do not have to worry about emergency situations.
