Tree Root Cutting Specialist
At SOS Drainage NI, we can help you deal with tree roots in your drains the right way. We don't just clear the blockage; instead, we use camera drain surveys to spot signs of root ingress, cracks, and weak joints, so that our repairs can match the real cause of your drainage problems.
Tree roots look for water, and they can push into tiny gaps in your drain pipes and grow. This can impact your water flow, cause bad smells, and put pressure on the pipe until it leaks, bursts or collapses. We can clear tree roots in your drains quickly and provide the right repairs to stop roots from returning.
Our Drain Root Removal Services
We provide a range of root removal services, including root cutting, full removal services, and camera inspections to give you a clear picture of your drain's condition. We can inspect the inside of the pipe to find root entry points, cracks, or weak joints; then, we can choose the safest way to clear the pipe using controlled high-pressure jetting.
Drain root cutting
SOS Drainage NI can cut tree roots out of your drains safely and restore your water flow.
This service generally includes a CCTV inspection to locate the root's entry points, as well as specialist jetting or cutting to break up and remove the roots.
We can also provide an inspection report to show any cracked joints or damage that may need repairing.
Drain root removal
Our tree root removal service often starts with a CCTV camera inspection to find where the roots have entered from, or find any collapsed sections.
We then use controlled high-pressure jetting and other clearance methods to remove the roots without damaging the pipe.
We also provide reports along with photos and advice on the next steps, including repair plans.
High-pressure water jetting
Our high-pressure water jetting service is perfect for removing roots and stubborn build-ups from your drains without damaging the pipes.
Our jetting service can restore your water flow, reduce bad smells, and lower the risk of repeat blockages. The service typically includes choosing the right nozzle and then using controlled high-pressure water to break up roots, grease, silt, and debris.
CCTV drain inspections
Our CCTV drain inspections can help us remove tree roots from your drains by showing us exactly where they have entered from and how far they spread.
This inspection can help us spot root entry points, cracks, and collapsed areas, which allows us to use the right clearing method. This service typically includes feeding a small camera through the pipe, recording our findings, and giving you a report along with photos.
Drain repairs after root damage
After we have removed the tree roots, we can provide repair services to stop the problem from coming back.
We can find out where the roots entered from and whether the joints have been cracked or have collapsed.
Our root repairs typically include locating the damaged area, fixing or replacing the pipe, sealing the joints, and testing the water flow afterwards.
Root prevention treatments
We provide tree root prevention services to help you stop repeat blockages and protect your drain pipes from damage.
This typically includes a CCTV drain survey to find root entry points, cracked joints, or weak sections, plus a simple report that's backed by photos.
We can also clean your drain line with controlled high-pressure jetting and advise you on the best repairs.
Common Causes Of Root Growth In Drains
Root growth (or root ingress) usually starts when a drain has small gaps that let moisture escape. Tree roots often search for water and will follow damp soil towards your pipework if there's a chance they can drink up the water.
Small leaks can attract tree roots towards your drainpipes quickly, and older clay pipes, loose joints and hairline cracks are common entry points. Drains that run close to trees or large shrubs are also at a higher risk of root issues, especially if the pipe is near shallow ground.
Once one root gets inside, it can feed on the steady supply of water and thicken into a mat that traps waste and debris inside the pipe. This can lead to repeated blockages and, over time, collapsed pipes.
