Roots Blocking Your Drain? Here's How We Clear Them
Tree roots get into drains through the smallest cracks or a joint that's moved out of place, then grow inside the pipe, catching debris and restricting the flow. A standard unblock might help for a while, but if the roots are still there, the problem usually comes back.
Our engineers will confirm where the roots have got in, often with a CCTV inspection, then remove the root mass using specialist cutting equipment designed to protect the pipe. Where there's a defect letting the roots in, we'll recommend a repair or lining to stop it happening again.
