Como Park Sewer handles sewer tree root removal in St. Paul, MN and across the East Twin Cities metro. Most root removal jobs take 2 to 4 hours, and same-day service is usually available for active backups. If your drains are slow or gurgling, roots may already be inside the line.
What We Do
We remove tree roots from sewer lines using a mechanical root cutter and, for heavy blockages, a high-pressure water jet. The cutter is a rotating blade fed through your cleanout that shears roots flush with the pipe wall. We finish every job with a camera pass, so you see the cleared pipe on screen before we leave. You get the video and a written summary of your line’s condition.
How It Works
- You call, we ask a few questions about your drains, and we set a time.
- We locate your cleanout and run a camera to find where the roots came in.
- We cut the roots out with the mechanical cutter and flush the debris downstream.
- We run the camera again to confirm the line is clear end to end.
- You get the video, a plain-English report, and options to keep roots from coming back.
Local St. Paul Context
St. Paul’s older neighborhoods, including Como Park and Highland Park, are shaded by mature oak and elm root systems that hunt for the moisture leaking from aging clay sewer pipes. Root intrusion is the most common blockage we clear here. Homes in Roseville and other first-ring suburbs with big old trees face the same problem.
What It Costs
Most sewer tree root removal jobs in St. Paul run $250 to $650, depending on how far the roots reach and how many spots are blocked. Severe cases that need hydro jetting can cost more. See our full St. Paul cost guide for a complete breakdown by job type.

Roots get in through cracks and failed joints, so a sewer camera inspection shows whether the pipe itself needs work. If roots have broken the pipe, sewer line repair fixes the source so the roots stop coming back.
