How do tree roots get into drains?

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.

Frequently Asked Roots in Pipes Questions

What is drainage root removal?

Drainage root removal is a service dedicated to eliminating tree roots from drainage systems. Over time, these roots can obstruct pipes, causing reduced flow and potential system damage. Our root removal process aims to restore proper drainage function by clearing the pipes from root intrusion.

Why do tree roots grow in drainage systems?

Tree roots are naturally attracted to water sources, and drainage systems offer consistent moisture. As roots seek moisture, they find their way into pipe joints and cracks. Once inside, roots continue to grow, leading to blockages and related problems

What are the signs of tree root blockages in drains?

Signs of tree root blockages include slow-draining sinks, toilets, or showers, along with unusual gurgling sounds and foul odours from drains. Damp patches near the drainage system may also indicate root-related issues.

Are there preventive measures to avoid tree roots in drains?

Yes, preventive measures can minimise tree root intrusion. Planting trees away from drainage systems, selecting tree species with non-invasive roots, and using root barriers are effective strategies. Regular maintenance, such as root growth inhibitors and pruning, can also help prevent root intrusion.
