FAQ’s about Root Removal
How do tree roots get into drains?
Tree roots in drains gain access via the pipe joints, fractures, cracks and through inspection chamber walls and benching. The majority of the drainage systems within the UK are constructed from collar and spigot vitrified clay pipes jointed using sand & cement, these joints offer little resistance to fine tree roots.
Why tree roots enter your drains?
Condensation that naturally occurs on the outer wall of the drain pipe, or moisture from leaking drain joints attract tree roots looking for a good nutritious feed. Disturbed ground, trenches and house foundations make easy travelling for a root system compared to the adjacent undisturbed ground.

How do you Repair Root Damaged Drains?
Drainage Tree Root Removal
If the roots have reached your system through joints and there is no major displacement, Maintain Drains can cut the roots and reline your drainage. However, if the root ingress has caused major displacement to the joints or it has fractured or compromised your pipes, pipe excavation may be the only answer. On most domestic systems given the number of bends and junctions you get over fairly short distances it is often a mixture of the two repair methods are required.
You should be insured for tree root damage to drains unless you have some obscure bricks and mortar policy that states otherwise.
