Dave Riley’s Drain Services

Pipes are made to withstand tree roots and keep them out of your drains, but that doesn't mean they can't fade over time. Especially if they're older. Older pipes often have joints that move to create a tiny gap that a tree root can grow into over time.

Exterior drains, such as those that catch runoff, can be particularly prone to clogging since there is a great deal of debris that can fall into them unless proper screens have been attached.

If you have been in your home for several years, and you have always heard gurgling sounds in the drains even though they do not seem to be clogged, the problem is not with the drains. Rather, it indicates that there is no, or inadequate, system ventilation.
