While there’s no doubt that trees provide beauty and shade and even increase the value of your property, being situated too close to your underground pipes can spell disaster for your plumbing system. Tree roots can infiltrate sewer lines and cause blockages, prompting the need for sewer pipe cleaning in Las Vegas, NV. In severe cases, however, these roots can damage and even collapse the pipes, leading to costly repair and replacement. Discount Drain Cleaning LV is here to help you understand how tree roots end up in sewer lines.
Pipe Vulnerabilities
Sewer lines are designed to withstand a lot of wear and tear, but they’re not invincible. Over time, pipes can develop small cracks, gaps, or holes due to age, ground shifting, or extreme weather conditions. These imperfections may not cause immediate problems, but they can serve as entry points for tree roots seeking water and nutrients. Tree root removal is one of our specialties, but we also advise homeowners to be proactive about pipe repairs and maintenance to minimize the risk of root intrusion.
Sewer Vapors
As mentioned earlier, sewer pipes can have small openings that can be an entry point for tree roots. These openings can also allow sewer vapor to escape, which can attract tree roots even more. These vapors contain the moisture, oxygen, and nutrients that trees need to thrive, making the pipes an attractive target. Clogged sewer lines caused by tree roots can result in foul odors and backflow, posing a health hazard to your household and the environment.
Tree Species
While it’s good to be cautious about any tree growing near your sewer pipes, some species are more likely to cause problems than others. Trees that have fast-growing and aggressive root systems, such as willow, poplar, maple, and oak trees, are more likely to seek out underground pipes. As the go-to sewer line cleaner in the local area, we often recommend reserving these types of trees for areas far from your sewer lines.

I had the cartridge in my shower go bad and couldn't shut off my water. I called Walter at 6:00 am. He told me to shut off the water main and waited for him to get to my house and he fixed it in a matter of minutes, about 10-15 to be exact. I highly recommend them for any plumbing issues one might have.

We received a call from one of our tenants at a commercial retail center that all their toilets and sinks were backing up. We manage the property from out of town and rarely have plumbing issues, but now needed a plumber in a hurry. The tenant runs a childcare center and small children need access to bathrooms! After calling several companies who were too busy, one of them recommended Walter at Discount Drain. Lucky for us! Walter answered his phone immediately. He was friendly and committed to helping us out. He arrived at the property at the promised time and resolved our issue, keeping our tenants happy. His invoice arrived overnight with great detail and the price was reasonable. We won't hesitate to call upon Walter again.

Outstanding service. Was on time, price quoted was price charged, drains open and working in 30 minutes !! No mess to clean up, and was explained everything. Forget the ripoff plumbers in this city, that sell with the fear factor, and work you don't need. This is the only company to call.
