Attack of the Trees

Trees are most definitely our friends, but their roots can wreak havoc on the sewer line running from your home to the city sewers in the street. In the spring and summer, our friendly trees draw most of their nourishment from their leaves. In the fall, the leaves begin to turn and we get to view their beautiful colors.

However, the color of the leaves is not the only change that is going on inside the tree. The tree begins to seek out alternate forms of nourishment. Roots grow more rapidly during the fall season to find moisture, and a very tempting source of moisture for these roots is the sewer line running in your yard.
