Pipe joints are opportunity for tree roots

Clay sewer pipes are a great opportunity for tree roots to get in your pipe line.
These pipes are usually 2-3 foot or 600-900mm long.

In a 100 foot (30 metre) pipeline, there could be up to 50 individual pipes and bends and junctions.

That means there are at least 50 pipe joints for a tree to get its roots into your sewer pipes.

It helps explain why you can have multiple blockages in your pipes.

And, why fixing where the roots are getting in today doesn’t mean the tree roots wont get in a little further downstream.
