Hi All,

I'm pretty sure that I have some tree roots that have made there way into
the sewer line headed to the septic tank. When I use a 3/4" wide x 100
foot flat sewer rod, I can hit something in the line. So I'm thinking that
the best thing to do is have someone come out and use one of those cameras
to view inside the line for roots.

If you are "handy," you can likely buy the machine used (from Harbor
Freight) for about the same money as a professional might charge.

Unless you kill the trees pumping out the roots, you will have to do it
again & again & again.

Frankly, if your pipe to the septic tank leaks you should repair the leaks.
The start cutting down trees!


Just wondering what the cost of clearing out roots in the drain should
cost? I know they'll give me an estimate, but wondering what others have
paid.

Thanks,
Brian
