Sewer Root Removal in Dover — what matters locally
At a median build year of 1968, Dover 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 Tuscarawas 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 Dover 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
- Mature trees within reach of the lateral — most of Dover's established streets
- Backups that return within months of the last clearing

What it costs in Dover
For most Dover homeowners the honest comparison is not pipe-against-pipe but total project cost. Open-cut looks cheaper until the driveway and landscaping have to go back in.

Answers
Sewer Root Removal in Dover — FAQs
Will the roots grow back?
If the defect stays open, yes — typically within one to three years, faster with willow, poplar or silver maple. Cutting manages the symptom. Lining the pipe removes the opening entirely, and that is what ends it.
Do I have to remove the tree?
Almost never. The pipe is the problem, not the tree. Once the Dover lateral is lined there is no opening for roots to exploit and a mature tree can stay exactly where it is. Removing a healthy shade tree while leaving a cracked joint fixes nothing.
Do chemical root killers work?
They have a limited place. Nothing poured down a drain repairs the crack the roots came through, so treat them as maintenance rather than a solution.
