Root Cutting

---

Tree roots are one of the most common causes of serious drainage problems. They can enter pipes through small cracks or joints in search of water, then grow inside the drain, restricting flow and eventually causing blockages, damage, or even pipe collapse.

At S&S Drainage Ltd., we use advanced root cutting technology to remove intrusive roots quickly and effectively, without unnecessary excavation.

We can use:

Picote cutting machines – high-speed rotating tools that grind and cut roots cleanly from inside the pipe, restoring full flow.

Specialist high-pressure jetting nozzles – designed to slice through roots and flush the debris away in the same process.

Our root cutting service:

Clears the blockage and restores normal drain function

Minimises disruption compared to digging up the affected area

Prepares the pipe for further repairs such as drain lining to prevent regrowth

Works on both domestic and commercial drainage systems

If roots have been found during a CCTV drain inspection, prompt removal is essential to prevent further structural damage and costly repairs. We not only remove the roots but can also provide a long-term repair plan to protect your drains in the future.
