One problem that often plaques homeowners and usually requires professional assistance from licensed Northern Kentucky plumbers  is when tree roots enter the underground piping. While most construction companies have moved from clay or cast iron to plastic pipes, a more root-resistant material, powerful roots from large trees can still gain entry to residential plumbing as well as commercial plumbing.


In dealing with bothersome roots, there are two options:

Reline or replace the network of underground pipes

• Have the pipes regularly cleaned and maintained

Both repairs will be expensive; replacing or relining the pipes will treat the problem all at once with one large expense, while the latter solution would cost you money annually.

Because Roto-Rooter offers 24 hour plumbing, we can take all your Northern Kentucky plumbing calls day or night and can help treat your root-related plumbing problems around the clock.
