Sewer Root Removal in Reading — what matters locally
At a median build year of 1956, Reading 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 Hamilton 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 Reading 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
- Backups that return within months of the last clearing
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:

Answers
Sewer Root Removal in Reading — 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 Reading 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?
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.
