Georgetown, TX

Many of Georgetown's neighborhoods are known for their beautiful, mature trees. While they provide wonderful shade and aesthetics, their root systems are a primary cause of sewer line problems. Tree roots are naturally drawn to the consistent source of water and nutrients found within sewer pipes. They can enter through tiny cracks or loose joints and, once inside, they grow and expand, creating blockages that lead to slow drains, backups, and even ruptured pipes. We often use camera inspections to diagnose this specific issue.

Georgetown is built on a type of soil known as expansive clay. This soil is highly reactive to changes in moisture—it swells when it rains and shrinks dramatically during dry spells. This constant shifting and movement can place immense pressure on your home's foundation and the underground plumbing, especially the main sewer line. This can cause pipes to crack, separate, or shift out of alignment, leading to hidden leaks and significant foundation issues. Proactive inspections and early leak detection are key to preventing major damage.
