The Root Problem

The Problem

Tree roots naturally seek out moisture and nutrients. Your sewer line is a prime target, especially at pipe joints, cracks, and connection points where moisture escapes.

Once roots enter your sewer pipe, they grow rapidly, creating a web-like mass that traps grease, debris, and waste. Over time, this leads to complete blockages, cracked pipes, and even collapsed sewer lines that require expensive excavation.

Rochester MN yards are filled with mature trees whose root systems extend far beyond the visible canopy. Even trees planted 20 feet from your sewer line can send roots that find and penetrate your pipes.

Our Solution

Jetter Drain Solutions uses high-pressure water jetting technology to cut through and remove root masses from your sewer lines without damaging the pipes themselves.

Our hydro jetting equipment delivers powerful streams of water at up to 4,000 PSI, slicing through roots and flushing the debris out of your system. The result is a thoroughly cleaned pipe with restored full-diameter flow.

After root removal, we perform a camera inspection to assess the condition of your pipes and recommend preventive measures to keep roots from coming back.

Warning Signs of Root Intrusion

1

Slow Drains

Multiple drains running slowly throughout your home indicate roots are restricting flow in the main sewer line.

2

Gurgling Sounds

Strange bubbling or gurgling noises from toilets and drains signal trapped air caused by root blockages.

3

Frequent Clogs

Recurring backups despite repeated plunging or snaking suggest roots are catching debris inside the pipe.

4

Sewage Odors

Foul smells near drains or in your yard indicate sewage is leaking through root-damaged pipe joints.

5

Sinkholes in Yard

Soft spots, lush green patches, or depressions in your lawn can signal a broken sewer line underground.

Tree Root Damage to Sewer Lines

Why Roots Keep Coming Back

Snaking a sewer line only punches a hole through the root mass. Within weeks, the roots grow back and the blockage returns. This is why traditional drain cleaning methods often fail to provide lasting results for root-related problems.

Our hydro jetting approach removes the entire root mass from the interior walls of your pipe, restoring it to near-original condition. Combined with regular maintenance, this approach keeps roots under control and prevents costly emergency repairs.

For severe cases where roots have caused structural damage to the pipe, we can identify the exact location and recommend targeted repair options that save you money compared to full sewer line replacement.

Rochester MN homeowners trust Jetter Drain Solutions because we provide honest assessments and long-term solutions, not temporary fixes. Call us at 507-405-4538 to schedule your root removal service.

Prevention Tips

Regular Inspections

Schedule annual sewer camera inspections to catch root intrusion in its earliest stages. Early detection means simpler, less expensive treatment before roots cause structural damage to your pipes.

Root Barriers

Physical and chemical root barriers can be installed along your sewer line to redirect root growth away from pipes. These barriers create a protective zone that discourages root penetration.

Smart Landscaping

Know where your sewer line runs and avoid planting trees with aggressive root systems nearby. Choose slow-growing species and maintain at least 10 feet of distance from underground pipes.
