Proposal

The roots from a willow tree to the South West side of our property have infiltrated a storm drain and they are starting to affect the adjacent sewer pipes too. Now that the roots are affecting both pipelines any future growth whatsoever has the potential to lead to blockages and can compromise the structure of the pipes. The proposal is to remove the tree to prevent any future damage and then to have a professional remove the roots using a root cutter and jet wash machine.
