Removing Tree Roots from Drain Pipes

Tree roots are a common cause of blocked and damaged drains. Once inside the pipe, roots continue to grow, restricting flow and causing cracks, joint displacement or full blockages.

Drains24 provides professional root removal services to safely clear intrusive roots and restore proper drainage.

Identifying Root Intrusion with CCTV Surveys

Before removing roots, it’s important to understand the extent of the problem.

We use CCTV drain surveys to locate:

Root entry points
Pipe damage or cracks
Areas of restricted flow
Recurring blockage locations

This allows us to apply the correct removal method and avoid unnecessary work.

Effective Root Removal Methods

Our engineers use specialist equipment to remove roots from drainage systems without causing further damage. This may include:

Mechanical root cutting
High-pressure water jetting
Follow-up cleaning to clear remaining debris

Where necessary, we will recommend repairs if the pipe has been compromised.

Repairing Damage Caused by Root Intrusion

In many cases, root intrusion indicates an underlying issue such as cracked or displaced pipework.

After removal, we may recommend:

Patch repairs
CIPP lining
Full pipe replacement (if required)

This ensures the problem is resolved properly rather than returning shortly after.

Preventing Future Root Problems

Removing roots is only part of the solution. Preventative measures help reduce the risk of recurrence.

We can advise on:

Root barrier installation
Pipe relining to seal entry points
Ongoing drain maintenance
