Our Root Removal Process

1

CCTV Inspection

We push a camera through the drain to identify the exact location, extent and entry point of the root intrusion — and to assess any structural damage.

2

Root Cutting

High-speed rotary cutting blades mounted on our jetting equipment cut through and remove the root mass, fully restoring flow.

3

High-Pressure Jetting

We jet the pipe to flush out all cut root material, leaving the drain completely clear.

4

Post-Clear CCTV

A second camera run confirms the drain is fully clear and identifies any structural work required to prevent reoccurrence.

5

Pipe Relining (if required)

If the roots have damaged the pipe, we can reline it on the same visit — sealing all entry points and creating a new structural pipe.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do tree roots get into drains?
Tree and shrub roots seek out moisture and nutrients. They enter drains through tiny cracks or loose joints in older clay or concrete pipes, then grow inside the pipe — sometimes completely filling it. Older properties with mature trees nearby are most at risk.
How do you remove roots from drains?
We use high-speed rotary root cutting tools attached to our jetting equipment to cut through and remove root masses. This is followed by a CCTV inspection to confirm the pipe is clear and to assess any structural damage the roots have caused.
Will the roots grow back?
Root cutting removes the root mass but doesn't stop the tree from trying to regrow. We recommend either relining the affected pipe section (which seals all entry points) or a root growth inhibitor treatment to slow regrowth significantly.
Does root removal damage the pipe?
No. Our root cutting tools are designed to cut roots cleanly without damaging intact pipe walls. However, if roots have already caused structural damage, we'll identify this during the CCTV inspection and advise on repair options.
Is root removal covered by home insurance?
Some home insurance policies cover drain repairs caused by root intrusion — it's worth checking your policy. We can provide a full written report with CCTV footage to support an insurance claim.
