How root removal works in Addison, IL

Four steps, one camera, no guesswork: the standard root removal sequence for 60101 properties.

Camera locate the intrusion

The camera travels the Addison line and marks exactly where roots enter and how far the mass extends. Mature trees on postwar lots now pressing roots into old clay and cast-iron joints, so the footage usually finds the entry at a joint, not a mystery break.

Mechanical root cutting

The cutter clears the mass while the camera watches the pipe wall. In Addison, mature trees on postwar lots now pressing roots into old clay and cast-iron joints, so the head is chosen for the actual growth on the 60101 lot, not the average job.

Flush and re-inspect

After flushing, the re-inspection of the 60101 lateral shows the entry joint bare. A high water table near Salt Creek that raises backup risk in heavy rain means the tech also checks whether that joint is admitting groundwater, not just roots.

Plan against regrowth

Options are laid out for the Addison home: scheduled cutting, foaming treatments, or repairing the failed joint. Salt Creek's high water table shapes which option actually fits the property.
