As many of us already know, mature trees add a generous amount of beauty to your landscaping. There is also the added benefit of shade around your property. However, trees can cause a severe amount of damage to your sewer pipes. It is natural for tree roots to seek out the water and moisture that is needed to survive. What better place than your sewer pipes? Your sewer pipes not only contain water, they contain the oxygen and nutrients that trees need to grow. Roots are very strong and have no problem penetrating through your sewer pipes to fulfill their needs.
