The Problem

Over time, the rubber or mortar seals between earthenware drain pipes deteriorate, allowing fine tree roots to enter through the pipe joints. Once inside, the roots continue to grow, trapping debris and restricting wastewater flow until a complete drain blockage occurs.

The Solution

DrainSpy Brisbane used professional high-pressure water jetting to cut and remove the invasive tree roots from the earthenware drain. The drain was thoroughly flushed and tested to restore full flow, with recommendations provided for ongoing maintenance or permanent pipe repairs if root intrusion reoccurs.

Equipment Used

High-Pressure Water Jetter, Root Cutting Nozzle, Drain Cleaning Hoses, CCTV Drain Camera, PPE (Personal Protective Equipment).

The Outcome

The tree roots were successfully removed, restoring normal drainage and reducing the risk of future blockages. The customer's drainage system was returned to full operation, with advice provided to help prevent recurring root intrusion.
