Our Tree Root Removal Process
To provide the best tree root removal service in Boise, we use a proven process:
Assessment and Inspection
Our plumbers are trained to evaluate sewage and drainage pipes using advanced inspection video cameras. These allow us to see the damage and determine its exact location. Cameras also help assess the condition of the pipe after roots are removed.
Root Removal Techniques
Once we assess the problem, we can determine how to resolve it. Our plumbing technicians specialize in effective techniques such as:
- Hydro Jetting: Depending on the scope, severity, and location of the problem, we can use high-pressure jets of water to break up tree roots and push them out of the pipe.
- Root Cutting: We can use advanced mechanical cutting tools that break up tree roots with sharp, fast-moving blades.
- Trenchless Pipe Repair: If the damage is limited to a small section of pipe, we can often use pipe lining or pipe bursting to repair it without costly and time-consuming digging.
Repair and Restoration
We fully restore your plumbing system and property after tree root intrusion. Our team can also find ways to prevent roots from encroaching on underground pipes in the future. When trenching is required, they will fully restore the pipe, refill the soil, and repair your sidewalk, landscaping, driveway, etc.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you help prevent future tree root problems in my plumbing system?
We recommend scheduling regular drain cleaning, which can find early signs of tree root intrusion. Our plumbers can then help avoid more serious damage by providing prompt repairs, cutting back roots, and installing barriers.
How quickly can you respond to a tree root-related plumbing emergency?
We are available 24/7. Therefore, our plumbers can respond day or night if you have any type of plumbing emergency.
Are there environmentally friendly or non-invasive methods for removing tree roots from pipes?
Hydro jetting involves no chemicals that can harm the environment. We can also use cutting tools that safely break up roots. Or, in some cases, we can use eco-friendly chemicals that inhibit root growth near pipes.
How can I minimize the risk of tree roots causing clogs in my plumbing system?
You can prevent future tree root intrusion using the following methods:
- Install a metal, plastic, or stone barrier to contain tree roots.
- Remove trees that are located near pipes.
- Trim tree roots growing close to pipes.
- Plant trees farther away from water lines.
- Repair leaks before roots grow toward them.
- Install PVC pipes that resist tree root growth.
How often should I schedule tree root removal services?
Many contractors recommend a plumbing inspection and drain cleaning every year. Depending on the age and condition of your plumbing system, it may need more frequent inspections or be fine if checked every two years.
