Tree Root Intrusion

Clay pipe was commonly used in the early 1900’s up to about the 1950’s. The fine roots in search of water penetrate the cracks in the pipe caused by ground movement and improper back filling methods. The tree roots grow through the cracks and causing the pipe to break and create a blockage. Some joints that were improperly put together are susceptible to tree root intrusion as well.

Asbestos/Concrete (AC) or trade name “Transite” was used from about the 1940’s to about the 1980’s for sewer and water main lines and services. AC pipe is a concrete pipe which does not have much flexibility, therefore, ground movement or improper back fill causes cracks which then allow roots to intrude into the pipe with the same affect as with clay pipe. If there has been a blockage in the sewer service for an extended period of time, AC pipe is then susceptible to deteriorating, becoming soft like wet concrete. In some cases, we have seen the bottom or “invert" of the pipe actually erode away due to the pipe becoming soft or saturated.
