“ I feel comfortable calling and sending Tennessee Standard in my house to fix a problem. He respected my home just like I do. To us, Tennessee Standard is the gold standard.”
It means solving root-related sewer or drain problems while minimizing excavation and disturbance around mature trees—especially protecting major structural roots near the pipe path.
Roots naturally seek moisture and nutrients. Even small pipe joints, cracks, or separations can release moisture that attracts roots over time.
Directional boring is a trenchless method that allows utilities to be installed underground without disturbing tree roots. It creates precise, small boreholes beneath the surface, avoiding the need for traditional digging, which can severely damage roots.
Frequent drain backups, gurgling toilets, slow drains across multiple fixtures, sewage odors, or recurring clogs that return soon after clearing can all be indicators. These same signs affect businesses with mature landscaping, which is why we also address root intrusion through our commercial plumbing services for Knoxville properties.
A sewer camera inspection is typically the fastest way to confirm root intrusion, locate the affected section, and determine whether the pipe is cracked, offset, or deteriorated.
Depending on the situation, solutions may include targeted cleaning to restore flow, followed by repair options that reduce excavation—especially when the affected section runs near valuable landscaping. Tree root preservation is one of many specialized residential plumbing services we offer to protect Knoxville homes and yards.
If the pipe is structurally sound, clearing may be enough. If inspection shows cracks, collapses, offsets, or heavy deterioration, repair is usually the better long-term fix.
If tree root damage has cracked, shifted, or collapsed a sewer line and the fix becomes a larger project, Tennessee Standard Plumbing can discuss financing options. Check our Financing page for more information
