Sewer Root Removal in Hanover — what matters locally
At a median build year of 1973, Hanover 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 Licking 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 Hanover properties need sewer root removal
- 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 Hanover's established streets
- Backups that return within months of the last clearing

What it costs in Hanover
For most Hanover 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 Hanover — 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?
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.
