Question:
Answers:
Absolutely, Tree roots love to eat the raw sewerage. They also see the sewerage as a steady source of water. The best thing is to get the pipe lines Roto-Rooted about once a year, and place a root killer, can be bought at ay Big box home inprovement store) in basement your floor drain 3-4 a year.
yes tree roots will grow into sewer line and will cause blockage but there are ways to prevent it the first most obvious is to cut down the tree and remove the stump second is to dig up your sewer line and replace it with glued PVC the roots can not penetrate the glued joints lastly there is a product out that is foam that can be sprayed into the sewer line and it will kill the roots but I think that this is a temporary fix. I personally would go with #2 also check your homeowners policy they may cover some of the damaged that this caused.
