Tree Root Removal from Drains
Cut them out. Line the joint. Stop them coming back.
Fine roots find their way into pipe joints looking for moisture, then grow into masses that eventually block flow entirely. Removing them once isn't a fix — the roots grow back within months. DrainFixer cuts out the mass with rotating jet-heads, then patch-lines the affected joint so the roots have no way back in.
Warning signs
- Blockages returning every few months in the same location
- CCTV footage showing white fibrous root masses
- Slow drainage after heavy rain
- Mature trees within 10m of the drain run
Common causes
- Willow, poplar and cherry root systems entering pipe joints
- Deteriorated pipe joints in Victorian clay drainage
- Cracked or offset pipe sections
