How often do roots get into a line?
A. Roots start to grow back as soon as we clean them out. Since we can only reach the roots already inside the pipe the roots outside stay untouched. Because a roots job is to find water for a plant they like sewer lines and grow faster in times of drought. Regular maintenance of sewer lines with cable will keep roots from damaging the pipe and creating larger separations to grow through. -back to top- Q. Can anything clear roots beside the cable? A. Hydro-Jetters with special cleaning heads can clear out small roots and chemical additives such as copper sulfate can help control root growth, but there is no substitute for cable when it comes to removing root growth from sewer lines.
