Sewer Root Removal in Mount Sterling — what matters locally
At a median build year of 1966, Mount Sterling 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 Madison 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 Mount Sterling properties need sewer root removal
- Repeat backups in the same line, several times a year

Answers
Sewer Root Removal in Mount Sterling — 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?
Almost never. The pipe is the problem, not the tree. Once the Mount Sterling 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.
