Sewer Root Removal in Smithville, OH 44677

Our crews handle sewer root removal across Smithville and Wayne 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 Smithville — what matters locally

At a median build year of 1967, Smithville 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 Smithville 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
• Mature trees within reach of the lateral — most of Smithville's established streets

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 Smithville

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.
