If you’ve got an older home, then we probably aren’t the only ones who have talked to you about tree roots in your plumbing. On older property, tree roots can be incredibly resilient and will destroy or break apart clay pipes fairly easily.
Before you pick up the bottle of chemical tree root killer, we’d like to discuss the pros and cons of this solution and the differences between chemical root killer and professional service. Sometimes plumbers can provide a service, like trenchless sewer repair, that could take care of the problem without the damage and corrosive byproducts that a chemical root killer would provide.

Lead in water is a health hazard that has become major news over the past few years. Lead in drinking water can be harmful, especially to children and infants, and any homeowner should reduce their lead exposure. According to the EPA and the Center for Disease Control, even low levels of lead exposure can create health complications.

At Ken Neyer, we use the best available tools for all the plumbing jobs we take on.
