Why do tree roots get into sewer lines?

Roots seek moisture and can enter through small cracks or joints, especially in older clay or cast iron pipe, then grow and block the line.

How do I know if roots are in my sewer line?

Recurring slow drains and gurgling are common signs. A camera inspection can confirm it.

Can I call from Creekside Park or Sterling Ridge?

Yes. Availability varies by exact location and time.
