Camera Footage Shows How Far the Roots Have Spread

You had the roots cut out of your Southlake sewer line, but the backup came back. That tells us the roots still have a way in.

First, we clear the roots from the line. Then we run our camera through the pipe. We count every spot where roots got in and check each one for cracks.

Shifting clay soil opens pipe joints a little at a time. Roots find those small gaps first and grow inside. The camera shows you exactly where that happened in your line.

One Damaged Joint Usually Calls for a Spot Repair

Your Southlake line may have just one joint filled with roots and sound pipe on both sides. In that case, you don't need a whole new line.

We dig at that one spot and replace only the damaged section. The rest of your yard stays as it is.

Our camera marks the exact location and depth of the bad joint before we dig. That keeps the hole small, even on a large lot.

Long Cracks and Collapsed Pipe Point to Replacement in Carillon

Your Carillon home keeps backing up, and the camera shows roots at many points along the line. When damage runs that far, a spot repair won't solve it.

Patching one section leaves the other open joints in place, and the roots keep coming back through them. A new line removes every entry point at once.

In Southlake, you own repairs from your house through the tap. The City repairs any section of the line under the road.

Plan for Digging Around Trees, Lawns, and Sprinklers

You've put time into your Southlake yard, and you want it treated with care. A few steps before we dig help protect it.

  • Flag sprinkler heads and lines. Mark them so we can work around them.
  • Point out any buried lighting. Landscape light wires often run near the sewer path.
  • Move vehicles off the driveway. Do this if the line runs under it.

Texas law requires a call to 811 before any digging starts. That way, buried gas, power, and water lines get marked first. You can learn more at Texas 811.

Protect Your Repaired Clariden Ranch Line From New Roots

Your Clariden Ranch family wants the new pipe to stay root-free. A few habits help keep roots out for the long run.

  • Schedule regular camera checks. We can spot new root growth while it's still small.
  • Plant new trees away from the sewer path. Ask us where your line runs before you plant.
  • Book maintenance jetting if older sections remain. Jetting clears roots from pipe we didn't replace.

In a dry Southlake summer, roots search farther for moisture. They can reach your sewer line faster than you'd expect.
