Can an Uprooted Tree affect your Plumbing?

If a tree falls during a bad storm, or is uprooted for any other reason, it can destabilize your yard. This can be a serious problem for your plumbing because loose soil can allow pipes to bend or shift. Whether an abundance of soil causes additional pressure on sewer lines, or a lack of soil fails to support lines properly, cracking and breaking can result. If you notice lawn wet spots or see water after a tree is uprooted, this is a sure sign of a pipe break. However, the problems you experience after a tree falls may be more subtle. Toilets or drains backing up, water draining slowly, faucets gurgling, or any other unusual plumbing issues can signal a bigger problem. Call a professional plumber right away if you notice any of these abnormalities.

If a neighbor’s tree falls in your yard, that can also cause outdoor plumbing problems if the tree is very large or if underground lines are too close to the surface. Look for similar signs of plumbing issues to identify any problems as quickly as possible. When it comes to emergency plumbing situations, time is of the essence. The sooner you can get a professional plumber out on scene, the better!
