Root Intrusion Sewer Repair in Nashville and Middle Tennessee
Roots enter through joints and cracks. We cut them out, then line the pipe so the openings they use are sealed for good.

Root Intrusion Sewer Repair, explained.
Tree roots go where the water is. A hairline crack or a slightly open joint in a sewer line lets out enough moisture to attract them, and once a root hair gets in it grows into a thick mat that catches paper and grease. The line slows, then backs up. Cutting the roots clears the pipe for a while, but if the opening stays, they return.
The lasting fix has two parts. First, the roots are cut and the pipe is jetted clean. Second, the openings are sealed: with a spot repair if only one joint is open, or with a full-length liner if many joints are affected. A lined pipe has no joints, which leaves roots with nowhere to enter. We camera before and after to show you the pipe as we found it and as we left it.
Signs this service fits
- Backups every few months in the same line
- Slow drains that clear and return
- A camera shows roots at joints
- Large trees near the sewer path
A good fit, and what to know.
We would rather you hear the limits from us than discover them later.
A good fit when
- Pipes with root entry at joints
- Lines in mature neighborhoods
- Owners who want a lasting fix instead of repeated cleaning
Worth knowing
- A pipe broken or collapsed by roots may need more than lining

Will the roots come back after lining?
A liner seals the joints, so roots lose their entry points. Roots can still press on the outside of the pipe, but they cannot enter a sealed line.
Is a patch enough?
If only one or two joints are open, yes. If many are, full-length lining makes more sense, and the camera tells us which case you have.
Do I have to remove my tree?
Usually not. The aim is to make the pipe root-proof, so the tree can stay.
