Cut the roots out of your Rittman sewer line — and deal with the opening that let them in.
Sewer Root Removal in Rittman — booked, scoped and carried out by trenchless specialists rather than a general plumber with a rented machine. We cover the whole of Wayne County, around the clock.
Sewer Root Removal in Rittman — what matters locally
At a median build year of 1965, Rittman 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 Wayne 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 Rittman properties need sewer root removal
- Repeat backups in the same line, several times a year
- Gurgling toilets or slow drains across multiple fixtures
- A camera showing root mass at a joint
- Mature trees within reach of the lateral — most of Rittman'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 Rittman
We know a five-figure sewer repair is a significant expense. That is exactly why we start with a camera inspection and tell you the truth about scope — a single cracked joint needs a spot repair at a fraction of full-line cost, and plenty of backups turn out to need nothing more than a thorough cleaning.

Answers
Sewer Root Removal in Rittman — 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 Rittman 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.
