Root Removal in Manchester

Roots enter through hairline cracks, poorly sealed joints, and gaps at inspection chamber walls. They are drawn to the moisture and nutrients inside pipes. Once inside, roots grow rapidly and can completely fill a pipe within months.

High-pressure jetting can flush out fine root hair but cannot cut through established root masses. We use specialist rotary root-cutting heads that physically sever roots before jetting clears the debris. CCTV confirms clearance after the job.

Root regrowth is possible if the pipe damage that allowed entry is not addressed. After root clearance we carry out a CCTV inspection to assess pipe condition. Where joints or cracks are found we recommend pipe relining, which creates a seamless internal barrier that roots cannot penetrate.
