Do tree roots block pipes and drains?
Tree roots can be aggressive and can often exert pressure on buildings, footpaths, fences and pipes. Existing cracks in pipes allow roots access. Naturally tree roots will seek out sources of moisture and nutrients. Tree roots can find cracks and openings in pipework and will start feeding from the sewerage and eventually block the line. Tree roots in drains are the most common fault.

We put a camera down the drains for several reasons. With a camera inspection the drain fault can be pinpoint located. This allows a precise and accurate quote and repair job.
