Will tree roots grow back after removal?

Without relining, roots typically regrow within 12–24 months. We recommend relining after root removal to seal entry points permanently.

Which trees cause the most drain damage?

Willows, poplars, oaks and ash trees are the most aggressive. Their roots can travel 10–20 metres from the trunk.

Does root removal damage the pipe?

No. We use specialist mechanical cutters designed for drain pipes. The cutting action removes roots without damaging the pipe walls.

Drain Root Removal

Specialist removal of tree roots from drains and sewers.

Overview

Tree roots are one of the most damaging forces affecting underground drainage. Roots seek out moisture and nutrients, penetrating pipe joints and cracks, eventually blocking or collapsing the pipe entirely. Our root removal service uses mechanical cutting and high-pressure jetting to clear root ingress, followed by relining to prevent regrowth.
