Why Are Tree Roots a Plumbing Problem in California?
The Golden State may avoid some intense natural disasters like the east coast’s hurricanes and tornadoes, but an unexpected culprit often causes damage in Southern California: tree roots.
Here are some ways tree roots can affect your plumbing:
- Like any plant, trees’ thirst for water helps them thrive. Unfortunately, leaks in your plumbing often send roots in search of water in your sewer line. This will cause clogs in your sewer line and can even make waste come back up the pipe and into your house.
- Sinkholes in your yard are typically a sign of a serious root problem and can put your house’s foundation in jeopardy.
- Foul smells, strange noises, and pipe problems can all point to potential roots in your line or another object clogging your system.
- Even if you don’t have a tree in your yard, don’t rule out roots in your pipes. Trees from your neighbors’ homes don’t abide by your property boundaries, and their roots may be the source of your problem.
- Oak, Willows, Fig, and Sycamore trees are common offenders in California.

Drain Cleaning
Not every plumbing problem is deep in your sewer line. Something as small as a fork falling down the drain can cause clogs in the pipe closer to your kitchen. While it may seem like an easy fix with store-bought drain cleaning liquids, sometimes they’re not enough, and it’s time to call in the professionals for drain cleaning services.
In a situation like this, silverware often presents a big problem for homeowners when it’s lodged in their kitchen pipe because the pipe bends. This makes it difficult to reach or clear out with a simple liquid solution. With the proper tools, our professionals will return that fork to its proper place without damaging your pipe.
Water Heater Installation and Repair
Age, strange noises, and a lack of hot water all indicate you likely have an issue with your water heater. Not only will ignoring these issues drive up your water bill, but it could also potentially flood your home in the future. Water heaters can last about 8-20 years, depending on the model.
Our services for water heater installation and water heater repair in Beaumont work with electric, gas, and tankless models. While tankless water heaters cost more upfront, they are the style that lasts the longest because they don’t collect as much deteriorating sediment.
Toilet Installation and Repair
General Air Conditioning & Plumbing does both repairs and toilet-related plumbing installation in Beaumont. We repair lifted seals that may be causing leaks and valves that are no longer working. If you are looking for more cosmetic changes like your seat or handle, we can switch those too. Our team of professionals is here for you.
