Sewer Line Root Removal
One of the most common issues affecting your sewer line is tree roots. Whether your yard is full of trees or you only have a few surrounding your home, roots can find their way into your pipes. And when they do, they can wreak havoc on your plumbing.
Gopher Sewer & Drain offers professional sewer line root removal to help you protect your home from damaging water and waste backup.
What Happens When Roots Clog My Sewer Line?
A tree’s roots serve two purposes: to anchor the tree and to search for nutrients. If roots can find a water source, they latch on. Lucky for the roots and unfortunately for you, your sewer line is the perfect place to soak up water. If your lines are older or have cracks and crevices, roots can easily start to take over.
If roots clog your sewer line, you might notice a few signs in and around your home:
- Water draining slowly from your shower, tub or toilet
- Gurgling sounds coming from your toilet or drains
- Bad odors coming from the inside or outside of your home

What Our Customers Say
"I called Pedro on a Friday night at 6pm during the Covid-19 pandemic with a floor drain backing up anytime water was used in my house. Miguel was at my house at 8am on Saturday morning and used an auger to clear my main sewer line. Pedro ended up having to come too because my house sits back from the street and they needed more than 100ft of cable to reach the clog. They were able to clear the line and replace the corroded cap in 2 hours and everything is draining great now. They were friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. Highly recommend them for service in the Twin Cities and will call them again if I ever need service. It was cheaper than expected so that was great too. I'll be getting my line scoped later this summer and will be using GSD."

Ed, Columbia Heights, MN
"Pedro and Gopher Sewer and Drain came out twice in three days to fix to broken pieces of my shower. Pedro was very kind, professional, and took extra time explaining the plumbing issues so I understood them. I will definitely call Gopher Sewer and Drain next time I have any plumbing issues.
Rachel, Minneapolis, MN
"Miguel has been to our house multiple times over the years and each time is on time, helpful, and efficient. The first, in fact, was an emergency call on Thanksgiving. Prices are reasonable and you definitely get what you pay for. Strongly recommend for someone looking to avoid the big names and go with a local company.

Previous Next"Pedro responded quickly and did a thorough and effective job resolving our clogged drains. We had a different plumber out to fix the same problem a few weeks earlier. That plumber snaked the drain, and that helped for a short time. Pedro soon figured out that the line from the kitchen was majorly clogged from years of use, and it had to be blasted with water. Simply snaking it was a waste of time. He also replaced a smaller line with a larger one. The amount of gunk he cleaned out was amazing. The money spent on the first plumber was a complete waste. Gopher wasn't cheap, but I feel like Pedro correctly diagnosed and fixed the problem.
