Removing Roots from Drains

Tree roots in drains are one of the biggest cause of blockages in the UK. At Maintain Drains, we have a variety of techniques that we can try out for roots in pipes removal and depending on the location and severity of the root ingress. In many cases, roots can simply be cut away if there has been major displacement to the joints or severe fracturing then excavation may be the only answer. Once the removal of the roots is complete the following process would be to use a structural liner to reduce the likelihood of the roots getting into the drain in the future.

Tree roots can easily enter drains in the UK through joints, cracks, and walls. This can lead to blockages and reduced drainage efficiency. The majority of drainage systems in the UK use pipes that are easily infiltrated by tree roots.

Why tree roots enter your drains?

Tree roots are attracted to moisture and nutrients. Drain pipes provide both, making them a target for roots. Disturbed ground, trenches, and house foundations also make it easy for roots to travel.

How do you repair root ingress?

Tree root ingress is one of the biggest causes of blockages in the UK. For this reason, we recommend that you have your drains thoroughly investigated with a pre-purchase survey before buying a new house. Drains close to any disturbed ground, trees or hedges are particularly vulnerable.
