Drain Root Cutting FAQ

What is drain root cutting, and why is it necessary?

Drain root cutting is a process used to remove tree roots that have invaded and clogged drainage pipes or sewer lines. Over time, tree roots can penetrate cracks or joints in underground pipes, causing blockages and backups. Drain root cutting is necessary to clear these obstructions, restore proper flow, and prevent further damage to the drainage system.

How does drain root cutting work?

Drain root cutting typically involves the use of specialty equipment, such as high-pressure water jets or mechanical cutters. These tools are inserted into the affected drain or sewer line to break up and remove the tree roots. Water jets use powerful streams of water to dislodge and flush away the roots, while mechanical cutters have rotating blades that slice through them. The method chosen depends on the severity of the root intrusion and the condition of the pipe.

Is drain root cutting a long-term solution?

Drain root cutting provides a temporary solution to remove existing tree roots from drainage pipes, but the roots can grow back over time, so it is not a permanent fix. To address the root intrusion problem in the long term, it is important to identify the root cause – such as cracks in the pipe – and complete necessary repairs or maintenance. Additionally, preventative measures like using root barriers or regular maintenance can help minimize future root growth and reduce the need for frequent root cutting.
