🌳 Thinking about planting a tree near your septic system? Think twice. These roots were removed from a septic system that was beginning to experience root intrusion. Luckily, the house had been vacant for a long time, so the roots didn't get much beyond the distribution box and header lines. This repair was fixable but root damage can quickly lead to major septic repairs and expenses. Always keep trees a safe distance from your septic system!
