Tree Root Removal from Drains for Cornwell's Bank (BN8) properties

Much of the Weald sits on heavy clay that swells in winter and shrinks in summer. That movement is the single biggest cause of cracked and displaced joints in older clay drain runs here. That matters for tree root removal from drains in Cornwell's Bank, because the right fix depends entirely on what the ground is doing to the pipe.
