Why Are My Drains Draining So Slow? If you have noticed your drains are slow to empty it may be because tree roots have taken over your sewer lines. Read on to learn how this occurs. Sewer pipes buried deep in your yard make ideal growing conditions for tree roots. They contain wastewater which is attractive to thirsty roots that enter the pipes through small cracks and flourish. If you notice patches of lush grass in your yard, suspect tree root intrusion. As the roots enter through cracked pipes, sewage leaks out nourishing trees and the surrounding grassy areas.
