Our team can replace your old pipes with durable, root-resistant materials. As a prime example, PVC offers one of the best long-term solutions for preventing root infiltration. Additionally, having us perform regular inspections with our camera will help us spot the earliest signs of a root problem.
Other prevention methods for tree root infiltration include strategic landscaping and physical barriers. It’s critical to plant new trees at quite a distance from your sewer lines and pipes. That way, a tree’s root system will have plenty of room to stretch out without harming anything. It’s equally important to choose the right trees in the first place. Certain trees and shrubs come with a non-aggressive root system. Steer clear of larger trees, as they frequently infiltrate sewer lines.
One of the best ways to prevent future infiltration is by installing root barriers. These include plastic, fabric, or metal barriers. You should bury them vertically around your sewer line. Their entire purpose is to block roots from gaining access to your line and pipes. For best results, it’s necessary to install them before roots become an issue. Fortunately, they’ll also work to keep new roots out of your sewer line once we’ve cleaned it.

Tree Root FAQs
Having to remove tree roots often brings up many questions. Check the FAQs below and call us if you still need answers.
Pipes can have small openings, such as loose joints or cracks. Meanwhile, roots seek out moisture, so they’re naturally attracted to sewer pipes. This issue is especially important to keep an eye on if you’ve got clay, concrete, or cast-iron pipes. Fortunately, one call to Acree Plumbing, Air & Electric will result in sewer root removal in Sarasota.
There is technically no way to prevent tree roots from returning. However, you can deter them or stop their growth. The best way is to have a professional stump grinder get rid of the stump altogether. We also suggest regular pruning and installing root barriers.
