Rooter & root cutting

Roots often return if the pipe defect remains; the camera visit decides whether clearing alone is enough.

What this covers

Mechanical root cutting and clearing where roots have invaded joints in clay or older laterals.

Do this first

  • Keep clear of sewage and electrics near standing water.
  • Avoid pouring more water into a clogged fixture.
  • Note whether multiple fixtures are affected and photograph any backup if safe.
