Tree Roots in Drains?

Effective Solutions for Tree Root Blockages in Drains

Tree root intrusion is a common problem for many homeowners and businesses in Wigan and surrounding areas. When tree roots invade your drainage system, they can cause blockages, leaks, and even significant damage to your pipes. At Wigan Drains, we specialise in fast and efficient tree root removal from drains, restoring your drainage system and preventing costly repairs.
 

How Do Tree Roots Get Into Drains?

Tree roots naturally seek out sources of moisture, and unfortunately, your drains provide an ideal path. Over time, these roots can get into cracks or joints in pipes, causing blockages or damage. The roots may grow inside the pipes, obstructing the flow of water, leading to slow drainage, foul odours, or even full blockages.
 

Signs of Tree Root Damage in Your Drains

If you suspect tree roots are affecting your drainage system, look out for these common signs:

• Slow drainage: Water backs up or drains very slowly in sinks, baths, or toilets.

• Gurgling sounds: Strange noises coming from drains may indicate root blockages.

• Bad odors: Tree roots can cause waste to build up, leading to unpleasant smells.

• Frequent blockages: Repeated blockages in your drains could be caused by root intrusion.

• Visible damage: Cracks or breaks in your pipes might be visible around trees or bushes.
   

Our Tree Root Removal Process

At Wigan Drains, we use a range of specialised techniques to safely and effectively remove tree roots from your drains:

• High-Pressure Water Jetting: We use powerful jets of water to clear blockages and remove tree roots from pipes without causing damage to the surrounding area.

• Drain Snaking: For more stubborn roots, we use a mechanical drain snake to cut through and remove the roots, allowing water to flow freely again.

• CCTV Drain Survey: To accurately identify the extent of the root intrusion, we offer CCTV drain surveys, which allow us to assess and locate the exact location of the problem.
