Root intrusion in clay sewer laterals
Why it happens here
The mature oaks and pines that make Paces and Chattahoochee beautiful also send roots into clay tile joints. Clay soil shifts with rain, opening gaps that roots exploit. Once inside, they grow into a mat that catches everything you flush.
Our approach
We camera the line first to see the intrusion, then cut roots with a powered drain auger and hydro jet the lateral clean. If the clay tile is cracked, we replace that section with PVC pipes and retest under full flow.
