Tree root intrusion is a major cause of sewer and drain pipe blockages, with fast-growing, water-seeking species like willows, poplars, and maples exploiting cracks and joints in aging pipes. Preventing these costly failures requires a mix of smart landscaping, durable pipe materials or internal seals, chemical root inhibitors, and regular inspections to catch early signs of intrusion.
