Root Removal & Defect Locating

IMG_4220

Tree roots are one of the most common causes of drain blockages and pipe damage. As they grow, roots can penetrate pipe joints and cracks, leading to restricted water flow, leaks, and even collapsed drains. If left untreated, this can result in serious drainage issues and costly repairs.

At EGD Pipeline Services, we use specialist root-cutting equipment to safely remove intruding roots without causing further damage to your drainage system. Our advanced defect locating technology, including sonar tracing and CCTV drain surveys, allows us to pinpoint weak spots and potential issues before they become major problems.

FAQs – Root Removal & Defect Locating

Learn how our team removes intruding roots and detects hidden drainage problems before they escalate.

Tree roots naturally seek out moisture and can enter drains through tiny cracks, loose joints, or weak points in the pipework. Over time, they expand, causing blockages and structural damage.

We use specialist root-cutting equipment to safely remove roots without damaging your pipes. If the pipe is severely damaged, we may recommend patch lining or full repairs to prevent future problems.

We use CCTV drain cameras and sonar tracing to pinpoint cracks, blockages, or structural weaknesses in your drainage system. This allows us to recommend the best repair solution with minimal disruption.

Yes! Regular CCTV drain inspections and preventative maintenance can help identify early signs of root intrusion before they cause serious damage. Installing root barriers or using root-resistant pipe materials can also help.
