The ROOT of the problem....

The joys of homeownership. When problems arose the first time we used the master bathroom, we thought it was just a minor issue. Three weeks later, we realize its much more. Three plumbers have stated that there is no way the previous owners didn't know about the tree roots growing in our pipes. Therefore, we are going to let them pay the plumbing bill.



The largest root: this root is actually IN the pipe



The hole they jackhammered in our bathroom and a view of the largest root.



More roots extracted from inside and around the main line.



The main root that was pulled out of the line. Angelo, the plumber, said he has never pulled a root that large from a line before. The pipe was about 4 inches in diamater, and this root is about 3.5"
