Physical root barriers are rigid or membrane sheets buried vertically between a tree and the asset being protected, forcing roots to grow deeper or around. Chemical options impregnate a membrane with root-inhibiting compounds.
Barriers work best as prevention during landscaping or after a repair — they cannot remove roots already inside a drain.
Protects drains and foundations from future root intrusion.
Installed in trenches between trees and pipe runs, typically 600 mm deep or more.
A CCTV drain inspection is the standard way to confirm whether this is what's happening in your pipes: the camera shows the condition on screen, a locator pinpoints the exact position and depth, and you get a recorded report before any repair decisions are made.
A CCTV drain inspection shows exactly what's happening inside your pipes — no guesswork.
