Great camera inspection, even earlier than scheduled. Very friendly and gave clear explanations of the work. I truly recommend them. My plumber was Zoiubir. Thanks to Alex.
Read on GoogleTree roots grow into the main drains because the sewer pipes contain water, nutrients and oxygen-the essential elements for trees to grow. Aside from drain and sewer blockages, tree roots growing inside sewer and drain pipes must be maintained to reduce blockage. Roots from trees growing on private property and on parkways throughout the service area are responsible for many of the sanitary sewer service backups and damaged sewer pipes experienced in Montreal and the surrounding areas.

Main drains are typically located in front of your home along side the city main water shutoff valve. In certain cases the city main shut off valve can be located on your driveway or on your lawn. Once you locate the city main shut off valve, you will than have a better understanding if you have any trees surrounding the main drain.
After determining that your main drain is located near a tree, the next step would be to see if any roots have entered the drain pipe. The best way to get this done is by having a professional plumber inspect the sewer line using a camera probe.
If you notice no symptoms of your drain backing up or water draining slowly, than you can wait to have your main drain inspected. The benefits of having your drain inspected is to avoid future water damages and to possibly save you thousands of dollars of repairs, especially before selling a home.
During the process of inspecting the drain, if our plumber finds roots in the drain, the nest step would be removing the roots. Our drain experts will start by cleaning out the roots within the drain with our metal drain snake. The drain snake will cut out all the roots from your pipe making a clean flow in your drain.
