Sewer Root Removal in Akron, OH 44310
Cut the roots out of your Akron sewer line — and deal with the opening that let them in.
Our crews handle sewer root removal across Akron and Summit County every day of the year. The inspection comes first, the recommendation second, and the written quote before any work begins.
Sewer Root Removal in Akron — what matters locally
At a median build year of 1954, Akron laterals are old enough for joints to have opened and the street trees are old enough to have found them. Root intrusion is among the most common calls we take in Summit County.
Silver maple, willow and poplar are the most aggressive offenders. A sixty-year-old specimen has a root system that comfortably reaches a lateral under the front lawn.
When Akron properties need sewer root removal
- Repeat backups in the same line, several times a year
- Gurgling toilets or slow drains across multiple fixtures
- Unusually lush or soggy grass along the sewer route
- A camera showing root mass at a joint
- Mature trees within reach of the lateral — most of Akron's established streets
How the work is carried out
The method itself does not change from city to city, so we have written it up once in full rather than repeating it here:

rules affect it.
What it costs in Akron
We know a five-figure sewer repair is a significant expense. That is exactly why we start with a camera inspection and tell you the truth about scope — a single cracked joint needs a spot repair at a fraction of full-line cost, and plenty of backups turn out to need nothing more than a thorough cleaning.

Answers
Sewer Root Removal in Akron — FAQs
Will the roots grow back?
They will, unless the opening is sealed. Root cutting is a reset, not a repair — we would rather be straight about that than have you book the same job again next year.
Do I have to remove the tree?
No — and we would advise against it. The next tree's roots behave identically. Fix the pipe and the tree stops being a problem.
Do chemical root killers work?
As a supplement between cuttings, partly. Foaming root-control products slow regrowth, but they do not remove an established mass and they do not repair the defect. Copper sulphate down a toilet — the classic advice — mostly settles in the trap and achieves very little.
