Drain roots in a drain are a regular cause of drain blockages, this root ingress was the worst example our engineers have come across in many years. The engineers managed to remove the root ingress in one piece but after surveying found that the roots had caused damage to the drain run, which then needed a full excavation to replace the damaged run. Regular checking of your drain using CCTV Surveying kit, especially where trees and bushes are prevalent can avoid any minor ingress progressing. Use our contact form to make your enquiry
