Stop Tree Roots from Damaging Your Sewer Line

Tree roots are one of the most common — and costly — causes of sewer line damage in Edmonton. As trees grow, their roots naturally seek out moisture, making your underground sewer pipes the perfect target. Once they enter through small cracks or joints, they expand, block wastewater flow, and eventually break the pipe.

At *Instarooter, we specialize in professional root removal from sewer lines in Edmonton and surrounding areas. Using advanced cutting equipment and video inspection tools, we eliminate invasive roots quickly and restore proper flow without unnecessary digging.

Recurring sewer backups or slow drains throughout the home

Gurgling sounds from toilets or drains

Sewage odors indoors or in the yard

Water pooling in the yard, especially above the sewer line

Older homes with large trees nearby

If you’re noticing any of these, it’s time for a professional sewer inspection.

Common Signs You May Need Root Removal

Why Root Intrusion Is Common in Edmonton

Edmonton’s older neighborhoods like Highlands, Belgravia, and Glenora often have clay or cast iron pipes that are more susceptible to cracking. Combined with mature trees and freeze-thaw cycles, these aging systems become easy targets for root intrusion.

Instarooter understands local conditions — and we’re fully equipped to handle them.

Our Root Removal Process

We follow a proven, non-invasive method designed to save your yard and your wallet:

1. Sewer Camera Inspection – First, we inspect your pipes in real time to confirm the presence and extent of root intrusion.

2. Precision Root Cutting – Using high-powered tools, we cut and remove the invading roots from inside the sewer line.

3. Flow Restoration – We ensure your line is fully cleared and functioning as it should.

4. Preventive Solutions – We offer recommendations like regular maintenance or backwater valve installation to prevent future intrusions.

In most cases, digging is not required, and service is completed the same day.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Not always. If caught early, root removal and maintenance can prevent the need for full replacement. We’ll assess your system honestly and explain your options.

  • We recommend routine inspections and may advise trenchless repairs or chemical root inhibitors depending on the condition of your pipes.

  • It depends on your policy. Some plans cover sewer line damage from roots; others don’t. We can provide documentation to help you file a claim.
