Tree roots are one of the biggest hidden threats to drainage systems. Once they penetrate pipes through tiny cracks or loose joints, they can spread quickly, causing severe blockages, leaks, and structural damage. At Drain Master UK, we provide professional tree root cutting, CCTV surveys, no-dig pipe repairs, and preventative maintenance to keep your drains free-flowing and protected. Whether it’s a domestic home in Twickenham or a large commercial property in Richmond, Kingston, or Surbiton, our root removal and clearing services are designed to deliver long-lasting results with minimal disruption.
Roots growing inside drains can restrict water flow, cause recurring blockages, and even fracture pipework. Left untreated, they can lead to flooding and costly repairs. Our engineers use mechanical root cutters and high-pressure water jetting to cut through even the most stubborn root systems, flushing them safely out of your drains. This process restores full flow quickly and avoids unnecessary excavation. Once the roots are cleared, we recommend a CCTV drain survey to confirm the drains are fully clear and protected against further intrusion.
To deal with root intrusion effectively, you need to know the full extent of the problem. Our engineers carry out CCTV drain surveys using high-resolution cameras to detect root ingress, cracks, and blockages deep within the system. This allows us to pinpoint the exact location of the damage, plan the most effective treatment, and provide you with detailed reports and video evidence. Whether you’re a homeowner, landlord, or commercial property manager, a CCTV survey ensures complete transparency and peace of mind before and after root removal.
LEARN MOREWhen tree roots have already caused pipe fractures, cracks, or even partial collapses, clearing alone isn’t enough. We provide trenchless drain relining solutions that repair and reinforce damaged pipes from the inside, without the need for disruptive excavation. Our no-dig technology creates a durable, watertight seal, preventing future root intrusion and extending the lifespan of your drainage system. This cost-effective method is suitable for both residential and commercial properties, making it the ideal long-term solution for root-damaged drains in South West London.
LEARN MOREThe best way to avoid major problems is through prevention. Our scheduled root cutting and drain maintenance plans are designed to keep your system free from intrusion. Regular CCTV inspections, high-pressure jetting, and mechanical clearing help detect and stop root growth early, saving you from expensive emergency repairs. These preventative services are particularly beneficial for homes in tree-lined streets and commercial properties with older drainage systems, where the risk of root ingress is higher.
LEARN MORERoot intrusion can be devastating for businesses — from blocked staff toilets to major drainage failures in restaurants, hotels, and industrial facilities. We provide specialist root removal packages tailored to commercial and industrial properties, ensuring minimal disruption and full compliance with health and safety standards. Our engineers work around your schedule, offering out-of-hours and 24/7 emergency root clearing services to keep your business operational. With customised maintenance plans, we help facilities managers, landlords, and business owners protect their properties against recurring root-related drainage issues.
LEARN MORETypical signs include slow-draining sinks, frequent toilet blockages, gurgling from pipes, bad odours, and recurring external overflows. You may also see damp patches or small sinkholes outdoors. A CCTV drain survey confirms root intrusion quickly and accurately.
We combine CCTV inspections, smoke testing, and targeted cleaning to trace odours to partial blockages, traps, or defects. This non-invasive approach pinpoints the source without unnecessary excavation.
Yes. Roots follow moisture, exploit tiny cracks and joints, and can cause major blockages, leaks, fractures, and even pipe collapse. Early root cutting and no-dig relining prevent expensive structural repairs.
Our engineers use mechanical root cutters and high-pressure water jetting to slice through and flush out roots. Most jobs are completed without excavation. A post-clear CCTV survey confirms the line is fully clear.
No. We remove intrusive root growth inside the pipe only. Our no-dig methods work within the drainage system, minimising disruption to lawns, patios, and landscaping.
Usually not. Our trenchless drain relining repairs cracks and offsets internally, creating a durable, watertight liner. Excavation is only needed for severe collapses or where relining isn’t feasible.
We routinely reline clay, cast iron, PVC/uPVC, and concrete drains. We’ll assess the condition via CCTV survey and advise the most effective long-term solution.
Yes. We provide a full survey report with timestamped video, defect coding, and recommendations—ideal for insurance claims or property records.
They can if defects remain. That’s why we often recommend no-dig relining or targeted repairs to seal joints and cracks, plus preventative maintenance for high-risk sites.
Schedule periodic CCTV checks and maintenance jetting, reline vulnerable sections, and avoid planting thirsty species directly over pipe routes. We can map your drains and advise safe planting distances.
