Trees and shrubs add natural beauty and shade to outdoor living spaces, but when planting these vegetation types, it's essential to consider their impact on plumbing or sewer lines. You must understand which plumbing is outside your house and which plants to avoid near plumbing lines, as well as safe ones that shouldn't affect them - plus maintenance tips to protect and extend their lives without damage to these essential parts of our plumbing infrastructure. Damage can result in expensive sewer repair or a trenchless sewer line replacement. Mr. Rooter Plumbing can help you determine the best solution for your situation.
Plumbing outside your house includes water supply lines, drain lines, and sewer lines. Supply lines bring fresh water into your home, while drain and sewer lines remove waste water and sewage. Tree roots that grow into these buried underground lines may compromise these buried underground lines over time.
Certain plants possessing aggressive root systems should be kept away from plumbing and sewer lines to prevent rapid expansion of their roots, including:
Not all plants are harmful to plumbing and sewer lines; many species boast shallow root systems that won't interfere with pipes like these do:
Preventative maintenance can go a long way toward safeguarding your plumbing and sewer lines from tree root damage; here are a few tips that may help:
Roots may not be the only cause of plumbing and sewer line damage; other culprits could include aged pipes, corrosion, soil shifting, or corrosion-infected soil shifting. Routine inspection and maintenance visits can identify and address such problems before they become more significant.
Be mindful about what's being flushed down your drains - grease, food scraps, and hygiene products could clog and damage pipes if flushed directly down a toilet or sink. Always dispose of these materials properly instead.
