∙ 13y agoThere are several methods of removing tree roots from a sewer pipe. The standard method is mechanical : a "Sewer Snake" which cuts at the tree root incursion with a rotating blade.
Neither chemicals nor water jetting are effective on many root blockages. Cutting the roots and sealing or replacing the pipes (or joints) is the most effective solution. Where this is impractical, pipes may be relined in some cases.
Water Jetting is only a useful application for "soft" stoppages or for scouring lines clean to restore full flow as originally designed. Chemicals may reduce the need for recleaning but do not guarantee clear pipes. Herbicides may exacerbate problems by encouraging new root growth.
The solution is to remove all plants above and around the line, chop out existing roots and replace or re-line the pipe. PVC pipes are resistant to root growth, assuming all joints are sealed properly.
