Our Drain and Sewer Company, LLC removes tree roots that have grown into your sewer line and caused backups or slow drains. When roots penetrate older pipes through joints or cracks, they create blockages that worsen over time. You might notice gurgling toilets, drains that clear slower than usual, or water pooling in your basement floor drain after running the washing machine.

Roots seek moisture and nutrients, and your sewer line provides both. Once inside, they expand and catch debris, creating stubborn clogs that liquid drain cleaners cannot remove. We use camera inspections to locate the intrusion point, then mechanical cutting tools to remove the root mass while preserving your existing pipe. This process restores flow without excavation in most cases.



If you have older trees near your sewer line and drains that clog repeatedly, contact us to schedule a camera inspection and determine whether root intrusion is the cause.

How We Clear Roots and Restore Flow

We begin with a video camera inspection to confirm root intrusion and assess pipe condition. The camera reveals the location, density, and type of root growth, along with any cracks or offsets that allowed entry. You receive a clear explanation of what we found and which removal method fits your situation.

Our Drain and Sewer Company, LLC uses specialized cutting heads attached to flexible cables to cut through root masses and clear the pipe. After mechanical removal, we flush the line to remove debris and verify that water flows freely. You will notice immediate improvement in drainage speed, and toilets will flush normally without gurgling or hesitation.

We document the work with post-service video so you can see the cleared pipe. Root intrusion removal does not repair the entry point, so roots may return over time depending on tree proximity and pipe condition. We discuss prevention options and realistic maintenance intervals based on what the camera shows.

Homeowners in Denver often ask how root removal works, whether it damages pipes, and how long results last.

What tools do you use to remove roots from sewer lines?

We use rotating cutting heads designed for root removal, including auger blades and root saws that fit the diameter of your pipe. These tools cut roots flush with the pipe wall without damaging cast iron, clay, or PVC.

How long does root intrusion removal take?

Most residential root removal jobs take between one and two hours depending on root density and pipe length. We provide a time estimate after the camera inspection confirms the extent of the blockage.

Why do roots grow into sewer lines in the first place?

Roots follow moisture and nutrient sources, and older pipes made of clay or cast iron often have joints or small cracks that allow root entry. Once inside, roots expand rapidly and create dense blockages.

Will the roots grow back after removal?

Roots will regrow if the entry point remains and trees are still nearby. Regular maintenance or pipe lining can reduce the frequency of repeat blockages. We recommend scheduling follow-up inspections based on your specific pipe condition and tree placement.

How do you know if roots are causing my drain problems in Denver?

A camera inspection shows roots inside the pipe, along with their location and severity. If you have mature trees within fifteen feet of your sewer line and experience recurring clogs, root intrusion is a likely cause.

If your drains are slow or you have experienced backups more than once in the same location, schedule a camera inspection with Our Drain and Sewer Company, LLC to identify the cause and discuss removal options that match your pipe condition and budget.
