Homes throughout Iron River, Crystal Falls, and the surrounding area were frequently built with clay tile sewer lines — a material that develops small cracks and joint gaps over time. Tree roots seek out moisture, and those gaps in an older sewer line are exactly the kind of opening they grow toward and through.
Minor root intrusion can slow a line considerably. Left for years, roots can grow until they fill the pipe wall to wall. We cut them out completely using purpose-built root-cutting equipment matched to your pipe size, then confirm full clearance before finishing the job. In cases where the root damage has compromised the pipe itself, we’ll let you know and explain your options.
