Salop Drain Services - emergency blocked drains & CCTV Drain Surveys service Shrewsbury, Telford, Oswestry and Shropshire
The Root removal service is required for pipes near trees, over time, older pipes such as clay, begin to crack or their seal will become loose and joints will slowly move apart from each-other. The newly added space between the pipe connections will allow space for roots to intrude your pipe work. These will eventually grow in size, making these spaces larger. Drains act as a perfect environment for these roots to grow and cause a mass of damage.
It is common for individuals to use chemicals to remove roots from their drainage system. although this may remove some of the roots, this is only a short-term fix for such a serious complication. These chemicals can also further weaken the walls of your drain pipes, creating further issues in time.
At Salop Drain Services, we advise against using chemicals and instead using our high pressure jetter service to remove these roots for a more long-term period. When this service is paired with our patch repairs, it can prevent further root intrusions from occurring. We use a large jetting nozzle which spins at a high velocity when connected to a jetter, cutting roots flush to the edge of the cracks of your pipework, while also cleaning it to provide a smooth surface, perfect to install a patch repair.
It is never apparent that roots are causing an issue in your drains, however with the use of our CCTV drain camera, any issues with your drains can be addressed. If you have a garden with many large bushes or trees and you are experiencing issues such as blockages, the use of our CCTV unit should be considered to pinpoint where the issue is, and to rule out any worries you may have.
