Root Cutting & Descaling

Tree roots and hard scale cut back and flushed out, then a camera check to plan the long-term fix.

HomeServicesRoot Cutting & Descaling

Tree roots find the smallest gap in a joint and grow into the pipe, where they catch everything that passes and turn into a blockage. Bracknell's a green town, plenty of mature trees on the estates and the verges, and their roots go looking for the nearest drain. Old cast-iron and clay pipes scale up much the same way. We cut the roots back and strip the scale with the right cutting head and the jetter, then run the camera to see where they got in. Cutting clears the drain today; relining the joint stops them coming back. We'll tell you straight which one you actually need.

What we cover

  • Mechanical cutting backed up with high-pressure jetting
  • Roots, scale and hardened debris stripped out
  • A camera check to find where the roots got in
  • Straight advice on a lasting fix versus another clear-out

FAQ

Roots find the smallest gap in a joint and grow towards the water inside the pipe. Once they're in, they catch everything that passes and turn into a blockage. Old clay and cast-iron pipes are the usual victims. We cut the roots back and check the camera to see where they got in.
