Commercial Tree Root Removal from Drain & Sewers
We offer a Direct, Contract or Sub-Contract Service on all drainage works across the UK
Removing roots blocking drains?
It is a common problem that pipes are frequently becoming blocked with root growth, this can be shown in a number of ways from slow draining standing water, build up of waste in the sewage line, strong smells building up and in some cases sinkholes. Tree roots only risk causing damage drains, sewers and pipework where there has been a defect in the pipe previously. There is no evidence that they can create cracks to
break into a perfectly formed pipe. However, once roots have exploited a defect, even as small as a crack or displaced joint caused by pipe
subsidence, they can widen them by expanding as they grow. Dependant on type, some trees have more active root systems than others so are more likely to exploit defects and get into pipes while seeking water and nutrients.
What are the options to resolve tree roots blocking the drains?
• Using Hydro Cutting to clear roots from drains is Non-invasive allowing for root extraction without digging
• Using Pneumatic Cutting to clear roots from drains is accurate so this always ensures precise root cutting.
• Using Robotic Milling Cutting can remove root mass and blockages restoring drainage system functionality.
Best in Class Drainage Root Removal
Our patented endless-rotation feature on our robotic root cutters is perfect when drains blocked and root clogged, we are proud to say there is nothing else on the market like it! if you have a drain root blockage problem you need clearing we are the experts in root cutting and clearing any tree root blockages from drains, drainage and sewer systems.
Chemical Free - Our Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to break up the tree
roots and organic matter flushing them out of the drain. This method is highly effective in removing larger roots that may have caused significant damage to the pipe. This can be a favourable alternative to a root cutter has a rotating blade that cuts through the roots and clears the blockage.
How can I be sure the tree roots are removed from drains?
Backed by CCTV on all our machines, Once the tree roots have been cleared, we use a camera inspection to check the overall condition of the whole pipe. If the roots, once cleared, have caused significant damage, further repair or replace the affected section of the pipe may be appropriate to ensure that your sewer system is functioning properly.
We will advise all customers on the best course of action for their specific problems which will be covered by one of the services below.
To remove tree roots from drains, you can use a variety of methods, including:
Drain snakes and augers: These are highly flexible tools that have the ability can navigate through pipes and break up roots.
Root cutters: These specialist tools have a directional rotating blade that can cut through roots.
Hydro jetting: This is a popular method that uses high-pressure water directed to break up and flush out roots from the pipe.
Pipe relining: This is a less invasive option which creates a smooth lining inside the pipe to prevent roots from taking hold after clearing.
Our root cutting drain specific flexible tools are designed to navigate through pipes and break up and remove tree roots. This has the option to be rotated allowing the cutting head or auger inside the drain to be 100% efficient, it can effectively cut through and dislodge the intrusive roots from drain or pipes and restore lateral flow back. Each service option for removing tree roots from drains is supported by CCTV to thoroughly inspects drainage and pipework, providing real-time reports on your pipes’ condition.
How tree root cutting in drains work :
Tree roots invading drains and sewers often entering through cracks, joints, or porous materials in search of moisture. Blockages, backups, and costly damage can be a result if not resolved. Robotic cutting is a specialised, trenchless (no-dig) method by drainage experts to precisely remove these roots without excavating the ground based on industry practices.
Using high-pressure water jetting is a powerful and effective method for removing tree roots from drains, Using a specialised nozzle pumps pressurised water (up to 23,000 psi) into the drain, breaking up the tree roots and flushing them out.
Our Hydro jetting service is carried out by professionals to ensure it is done correctly and safely, without causing any damage to your pipes. Hydro jetting is safe for all types of piping, including septic systems, This method is especially effective for larger roots that have caused significant damage to the pipe.
Dealing with tree roots blocking drains :
Where precision root cutting and extraction from drains and sewers is required we are available nationwide 24/7, it can be a slow process with large scale root drainage issue to make a successful blockage removal. Our Drain-Jet Robotics system (powered by Mauerspecht) are designed for the large-scale removal of root build ups such as tree root removal, plant growth through failed drains and pipes alongside plant ingress, mass roots, etc.
Our drain root cutting, drain root removal and tree root clearing system operates at up to 1500bar and 24l/min with full in drain CCTV monitoring and full control over the directional jet in pipes and drains. This allows our service to operate in drainage and sewer pipework from 225mm up to 1000mm. We have found our drain root cutting and removal system is up to 10x more effective than standard milling works when it comes to large-scale root mass cutting within drains.

Clearing Root Clogged Drainage
We know that tree roots can be one of the most damaging problems to discover in a drainage system. Roots usually grow in sewer lines as pipes are well-ventilated and provide an excellent water source and level of moisture plants need to thrive but can have a devastating impact on a sewer system. If left untreated, root intrusion can eventually lead to a complete collapse of the sewer system.
Our drain root cutting, drain root removal and tree root clearing system operates at up to 1500bar and 24l/min with full in drain CCTV monitoring and full control over the directional jet in pipes and drains. This allows our service to operate in drainage and sewer pipework from 225mm up to 1000mm. Our drain root cutting and removal system is up to 10x more effective than standard milling works when it comes to large-scale root mass.

We Remove Tree Roots from Drains, "No Digging" Drain Unblocking Specialists
Tree Roots can often breach pipework and grow in drains often causing a mass build up and blockage causing a blocked drain. Often a typical unblocking fix requires the use of a high-pressure water jet as a cutting tool to clear tree root buildup inside the pipework, this is designed to sever roots that have protruded into the drain. These tree root mass build ups are then removed to ensure they do not create further blockages further down the drainage pipe system, then resulting in a sewer line clogged.
Tree Root Removal from Drains - Root Clearing Experts
We are remote robotic cutting specialists involved in a range of solutions to remove tree roots from drains often via the mechanical method for removing tree roots in pipework. We can also provide Hydro water jetting or high-pressure water blasting cutting root clearing technique, which involves using a high-pressure water jet to break apart the tree roots and result in clearing blockages from drains.
