How do tree roots get into a sewer line?
Roots grow toward moisture, and a drain or sewer line gives off water vapour and nutrients at cracks, loose joints and old seals. Fine roots work their way in, then grow into a mass that catches grease and paper until the line slows or blocks. Royal Flush clears roots out of the line and repairs damaged drain pipe.
Signs of roots include slow drains throughout the house, gurgling, and a main line that backs up again a few months after it was cleared.
Clearing the roots restores the flow. If the pipe is cracked or a joint is open, roots will usually come back, so the lasting fix can be repairing that section of pipe.

Root removal questions
Often, yes, if the crack or open joint they came through is still there. Clearing the line restores the flow, and regular cleaning can keep it flowing, but the lasting fix is usually repairing the damaged section of pipe. Royal Flush does both root removal and drain pipe repairs.
Common signs are slow drains throughout the house, gurgling toilets or drains, sewage smells, and a main line that backs up again a few months after being cleared. Trees or large shrubs near the line make roots more likely. Call or text (780) 265-4780 to have the line cleared.
High-pressure jetting can cut through and flush out root fibres along with the grease and debris caught in them, and it scours the pipe walls as it goes. Royal Flush does high-pressure drain jetting and root removal. The hydro jetting page shows how a jetter works inside the pipe.
