Roots don't grow into a sound pipe. They find their way in through a crack or an open joint, then spread once they've got moisture and nutrients to draw on. Fairborn Sewer Pros clears the roots mechanically and, where the crack is the real cause, seals that joint with a liner so new roots can't follow the same path back in.

Older lots in and around Fairborn with mature trees over the lateral line are the most common candidates for this service, especially where clay tile joints have had decades to loosen.

What's included

Typically included: camera inspection to locate root intrusion, mechanical root cutting, and debris flushing. Optional: CIPP liner install at the same visit to seal the joint against regrowth. Customer prep: let us know which drains have been slow or backing up so we can target the right section first.

FAQs

Tree Root Removal (Sewer Lines) FAQs

Can tree roots grow back after CIPP lining?

Not through a properly sealed liner. Regrowth only occurs if a crack or gap in the pipe goes unaddressed, which is why lining after cutting is the longer-term fix.

How do I know if I have a sewer line problem or just a slow drain?

Recurring slow drains near mature trees, gurgling, or backups after rain point to root intrusion rather than a simple clog, and a camera inspection confirms it.

How much does tree root removal for sewer lines cost?

Cutting alone costs less than cutting combined with a liner. The right choice depends on whether the crack that let roots in needs sealing to prevent regrowth.

Is DIY root removal with a store-bought root killer effective?

Chemical treatments can slow growth temporarily but don't address the cracked joint that let roots in to begin with, so regrowth at that same spot is common.

When should I call a pro for root intrusion?

Call as soon as you notice recurring backups near trees or visible roots in a drain snake pull, before the intrusion worsens into a full blockage or pipe damage.

What's included in a root removal visit?

Camera inspection, mechanical cutting, and debris flushing, with an option to add a liner at the same visit if the camera shows a crack.
