Root intrusion is one of the most common reasons a sewer line backs up, especially in neighborhoods with mature trees planted decades ago near the lateral path. Mason Sewer Pros clears the roots mechanically, then camera-checks the entry point, because cutting roots alone is rarely a permanent fix if the crack or joint gap that let them in stays open.
Many Mason-area homes with older clay or Orangeburg pipe see root intrusion recur every year or two without that follow-up step. We'll clear what's there now and tell you honestly whether a one-time cut is enough or whether CIPP lining is worth pairing with it to seal the entry point for good.

How our Tree Root Removal (Sewer Lines) process works
Step 1Root Intrusion Inspection
A camera inspection confirms the presence and extent of root growth in the pipe.
Step 2Cutting Plan
The technician determines the best cutting method based on root density and pipe condition.
Step 3Mechanical Root Cutting
Rotating blades or cutting heads clear roots obstructing the pipe interior.
Step 4Debris Flushing
Water jetting removes cut root material and debris from the line.
Step 5Pipe Condition Check
The pipe is inspected again to assess any remaining damage caused by roots.
Step 6Prevention Recommendation
Long-term solutions like lining are recommended to prevent future root intrusion.
Materials
Materials and methods for Tree Root Removal (Sewer Lines)
Root Cutting Blades
Sharp rotating blades slice through roots without damaging the pipe wall, sized to fit the smaller diameter clay laterals common in older Mason homes.
Hydro Jetting Equipment
High-pressure water jets clear remaining root debris after cutting, flushing the line clean before the follow-up camera check.
Root-Inhibiting Treatments
Chemical treatments help slow future root growth inside the pipe, useful where mature trees sit directly over the lateral.
Flexible Cutting Cables
Cables guide cutting heads through bends to reach root-blocked sections deeper in the line.
Inspection Camera Tools
Cameras confirm root removal and check for underlying pipe damage the roots may have caused.
Protective Pipe Coatings
Coatings add a barrier that helps resist future root intrusion at vulnerable joints.

FAQs
Tree Root Removal (Sewer Lines) FAQs
Can tree roots grow back after cutting?
If the crack or joint gap that let them in stays open. Cutting clears the immediate blockage, but pairing it with lining or a sealing treatment addresses the entry point so regrowth slows significantly.
How often should sewer lines be inspected in homes built in the 80s-90s?
For homes with mature trees nearby, a camera check every couple of years is a reasonable interval, especially if there's any history of slow drains or past root cutting.
What's the difference between root removal and CIPP lining for root problems?
Root removal clears what's blocking the pipe right now. CIPP lining seals the cracks or joint gaps that let roots in to begin with, which is why the two are often recommended together for a lasting fix.
Will root cutting damage my pipe?
Mechanical cutting is designed to clear roots without cutting into the pipe wall itself. We camera-check afterward to confirm the pipe interior is intact.
How do I know if my backup is roots or something else?
A camera inspection shows it directly, root masses look distinctly different from a grease clog or a structural crack. That's usually the fastest way to confirm what you're dealing with.
