Sewer Root Removal in Richwood, OH 43344
Cut the roots out of your Richwood sewer line — and deal with the opening that let them in.
Our crews handle sewer root removal across Richwood and Union 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 Richwood — what matters locally
At a median build year of 1953, Richwood 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 Union 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 Richwood 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 Richwood's established streets
- 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:

What it costs in Richwood
Trenchless usually works out comparable to or cheaper than open-cut once the cost of restoring the lawn, walkway and driveway is counted — and that restoration is the part most dig-and-replace quotes understate.

Answers
Sewer Root Removal in Richwood — 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 Richwood 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.
