How root removal works in Glendale Heights, IL

Four steps, one camera, no guesswork: the standard root removal sequence for 60139 properties.

Camera locate the intrusion

The camera travels the Glendale Heights line and marks exactly where roots enter and how far the mass extends. Subdivision trees planted in the 60s–70s now at peak root pressure on bell joints, so the footage usually finds the entry at a joint, not a mystery break.

Mechanical root cutting

A cutting head matched to the mass — fine roots to woody growth — clears the Glendale Heights line under camera watch. The operator clears roots, not pipe wall, and clay tile and Orangeburg at 50–65 years — the deformation, collapse and root-infiltration window demands that discipline.

Flush and re-inspect

After flushing, the re-inspection of the 60139 lateral shows the entry joint bare. Wet-spring infiltration into offset joints across the clay ground means the tech also checks whether that joint is admitting groundwater, not just roots.

Plan against regrowth

Options are laid out for the Glendale Heights home: scheduled cutting, foaming treatments, or repairing the failed joint. A whole town of 60s–70s laterals aging out together shapes which option actually fits the property.
