Unfortunately, as sewer and storm water drains age, the roots of trees, bushes and other vegetation become an increasingly common problem, and the resulting annoyance and work of cutting them out! The so-called hair roots grow into even the strongest concrete and granite sewer pipes, through their hairline cracks. They can even find their way into a poorly fitted plastic pipe, next to a twisted or forgotten rubber ring.

At first, you will have to call a root cutter every year or two, and then more and more often, because it never stops growing. In this case, all we can do is buy time and postpone the date of the wire replacement.

The joints of the pipes and cleaning shafts are the most critical points, as this is where the roots can grow in first!
It is very difficult to uproot trees, but there is no point in cutting down a beautiful tree. Unfortunately, the roots of a cut down tree can remain alive in the ground for decades. The other critical point of ingrowth is the cleaning shaft built of brick or poorly concreted. The root system most often grows in the joints and cracks between the bricks. As soon as it senses the nutrient medium, it immediately begins to bush out and grow stronger. In its great effort, it spreads with such force that it can even break the concrete pipe.
