When a blockage in your drain gets so bad that it cracks or damages your pipes, you’ll need to have them repaired or replaced. Tree roots are among the most common causes of pipe damage.
Tree roots spread out widely from the base of the tree, typically to the same extent that the tree’s branches do. These roots are much stronger than you might realise and they can puncture a pipe as easily as poking a hole in a piece of paper.
When this happens, we’ll first need to clear out the portion of the root that is blocking the pipe so we can see what we are dealing with. We make sure to stay up-to-date with the latest technology and techniques so we can do our job more efficiently and effectively.
Once the pipe is clear, we’ll be able to use a drain camera to assess the damage. If the root or other damaging item was on the smaller side, we may be able to reseal the pipe from the inside, eliminating the need for digging a large trench on your property.
However, for severe damage, we’ll likely have to dig out the old pipe and replace it with a new one. After we are finished, we’ll refill the trench for you so you aren’t left with a huge mess on your property.
We won’t be able to determine which approach is best for your drains being blocked until we can inspect it for ourselves, so don’t delay in getting in touch with us.
