Tree Root Removal
Dealing with slow drains, frequent backups, gurgling toilets, or sewage odors caused by invasive tree roots?
Many homeowners and business owners are surprised to learn that tree roots are a leading cause of clogged or damaged drain pipes, sewer lines, septic systems, and drain fields. Wastewater carries nutrients like phosphorus and nitrogen that attract roots, which seek out moisture and cracks in pipes, leading to intrusions that block flow, cause leaks, cracks, or even full pipe collapse.
At RooterMan Northeast Kansas, we specialize in professional tree root removal to clear blockages, repair damage, and restore proper drainage, preventing costly emergencies and recurring issues.
How RooterMan can eliminate tree roots
We use proven, effective methods tailored to your situation, always starting with accurate diagnosis for the best results.
- Video Camera Pipe Inspection Our detailed sewer camera inspection locates root intrusions precisely, assesses pipe damage (such as cracks, offsets, or breaks), and maps the full extent of the problem. This non-invasive step eliminates guesswork and unnecessary digging. After removal, we perform a follow-up inspection to confirm all roots are cleared and the line is fully restored.
- Drain Snaking with Rotating Auger We deploy a powerful motorized drain snake fitted with a cutting auger head. The rotating blades mechanically slice through invading roots, clearing the blockage and restoring free flow for wastewater and waste. This method works especially well for moderate root intrusions.
- High-Pressure Hydro Jetting For a thorough, deep clean, we use state-of-the-art high-pressure water jetting equipment (3,000+ PSI). Powerful water jets blast away roots, grease, and debris, scouring the entire pipe interior. This eco-friendly, chemical-free approach often delivers longer-lasting results by flushing everything completely out of the system.
RooterMan has the expertise and equipment needed to perform everything that is required to get the roots out of your drain pipes and repair the damage they have caused.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, roots exploit tiny cracks or loose joints, expand over time, and can cause leaks, breaks, or complete pipe collapse.
They can if the pipe isn’t repaired or sealed properly. Hydro jetting or augering clears them effectively, but preventive measures help reduce regrowth.
Common signs include slow drains in multiple fixtures, recurring clogs, gurgling sounds, foul odors, or wet spots in the yard. A camera inspection is the best way to confirm.
After clearing the roots, we recommend solutions like root barriers, chemical root treatments (applied safely), or trenchless pipe relining to seal cracks and joints permanently. These long-term fixes reduce regrowth risks significantly. We’ll discuss the best option for your system during the inspection to help prevent recurring problems and save you money over time.
We recommend a professional camera inspection every 1–2 years, especially if you have older pipes, trees near your lines, or have had past issues. Early detection catches small intrusions before they cause backups, major damage, or emergencies. Regular maintenance is the best way to avoid costly repairs—contact us for scheduled checks! These keep the professional, customer-focused tone and encourage calling for service. Let me know if you'd like more tweaks or additional ones!
Costs vary depending on the severity of the intrusion, the methods used (e.g., snaking, hydro jetting, or repairs), and what preventive work is needed. We provide upfront, transparent pricing with no hidden fees, always fair and competitive. Standard homeowner's insurance rarely covers tree root damage or clogs (as it's considered maintenance), but we can help you understand your policy and provide documentation if needed.
