What Causes Tree Root Ingress in Drains?

What Causes Tree Root Ingress in Drains 🌳

Trees and large shrub roots naturally extend sideways in search of moisture and nutrients within the soil. This lateral growth often leads these roots into contact with drain and sewer pipes. When the pipes develop leaks, these opportunistic tree roots seize the chance to infiltrate 💧

Once a root gains access and enlarges these existing cracks, it creates an ideal environment for swift expansion both around and inside the pipe. Over time, this unchecked growth can cause substantial damage to your drainage system ⏳
