Of all the different types of drainage obstructions, organic matter is often one of the most persistent. External sewer networks are particularly vulnerable to debris such as leaves, weeds and root intrusion, with tree roots often causing the most difficult blockages to resolve.
Once roots begin to enter a drainage system, blockages are likely to develop. The root mass can restrict flow, while additional silt, fat, scale and debris can become trapped behind the obstruction.
On commercial sites, managed properties and development areas, root intrusion can quickly affect access, operations and wider drainage performance. This is where our drainage team can help.
Root Cutting Services in Liverpool
The best way to deal with root intrusion is to identify the affected section and use a combination of intensive cleaning and hydraulic cutting. Our equipment is suitable for use in a range of pipe sizes and can be used to remove stubborn root growth from drainage and sewer lines.
For persistent problems, we may recommend a planned programme of CCTV drain surveys, cleaning and maintenance to monitor the network and reduce the risk of repeat blockages.
Where the pipe needs to be cleared before or after cutting, our drainage team can use high pressure water jetting to remove loose debris, silt and displaced material from the line.
If root ingress has damaged the pipe itself, we can advise on follow on repairs such as drain relining or excavation, based on the condition of the asset and the level of disruption each option would involve.
