Oakville’s tree-lined neighborhoods—Glen Abbey, River Oaks, Bronte, Kerr Village—are beautiful, but beneath their appeal lies a common plumbing risk:
drain-clogging tree roots causing costly sewer backups.
If you’ve noticed slow drains, repeated clogs, or sewer odors, this could be an issue with your main line—not just a minor blockage.
Older pipelines—like clay or cast iron—develop tiny cracks or shifting joints. Roots grow toward these moisture sources and eventually invade the pipe. What begins as a fine intrusion can grow into a stubborn block that demands
professional drain cleaning Oakville services.
Frequent toilet or bathtub backups
Gurgling sounds in drains
Foul odors near floor drains
Sudden slowdown in multiple drains
These often go beyond grease or hair buildup—indicating possible root interference.
At 17 Plumbing & Construction Design, we use video sewer inspection to pinpoint root location. Our solutions include:
Power Flushing (Hydro-Jetting) – eliminates roots, grease & sediment
Mechanical Root Cutting – breaks root blockages with cutting heads
Pipe Lining or Replacement – for severely damaged lines, trenchless restoration minimizes disruption
Emergency Plumbing Oakville for urgent backup situations
Oakville Drain Cleaning – Fast, 24/7 Clog & Sewer Help
Oakville homeowners sometimes try DIY flushes using baking soda, soda crystals, or store-bought chemicals—but these rarely resolve root blockages and may cause more harm. Licensed
Oakville plumbers from 17 Plumbing & Construction Design offer effective and safe equipment for long-lasting solutions.

A home in Glen Abbey repeatedly experienced backups. Our inspection revealed a dense maple root cluster clogging their clay sewer line. A power-flush cleared the blockage, and as a preventive measure, we installed a backwater valve. The homeowner hasn’t had issues since.
Don’t wait—tree roots and sewer backups can escalate quickly, causing water damage and major repairs.
