Tree roots go where the water is — and that often means straight into your septic and sewer lines. We clear them out and fix the damage they leave behind.
Middle Georgia yards are full of oaks, pines and other trees with roots that spread far beyond what you see above ground. Septic and sewer lines carry water and nutrients, and roots will find their way in through tiny cracks and loose joints.
Once inside, roots grow, trap debris and eventually block the line or crack it open. Stewart Septic Services provides root removal from septic and sewer lines across Macon and Middle Georgia, clearing the roots and repairing any pipe they've damaged.
We'll also let you know which trees are likely causing the problem, so you can decide how to keep it from happening again.
Root problems tend to build slowly, then show up all at once.
Drains throughout the home that slow down over time.
Gurgling toilets and drains as water struggles to pass.
Clogs that come back again and again in the same line.
Large trees growing close to the tank, lines or drain field.
Cutting roots out of a line gets wastewater flowing again, but roots that got in once will usually try again. If the pipe has cracks or separated joints, repairing that section is what really stops the problem.
A camera inspection shows how far the roots have gone and whether the pipe is damaged, so we can recommend the right fix rather than guess.
Keeping new trees and large shrubs away from septic lines and the drain field is one of the best long-term protections for your system.
Root removal from Stewart Septic Services includes:
Roots are drawn to the water and nutrients in the line. They enter through small cracks and loose joints, then grow larger inside the pipe.
They can, especially if the pipe is cracked. Repairing damaged sections is the best way to keep them out. See Septic Line Repair.
Yes. Roots can clog field lines and disrupt the soil. If your field is struggling, see Drain Field Evaluations.
Not always. We'll explain where the roots are coming from and what your options are, so you can make the call.
