Tree roots are an essential part of the ecosystem, providing stability to the soil and absorbing water and nutrients. However, when they grow too close to drainage or pipework systems, they can cause significant problems. At Flow Free Services, we understand the impact that tree roots can have on drainage and pipework systems, and we are committed to helping homeowners and businesses solve these issues.

When tree roots grow near drainage or pipework systems, they can infiltrate the pipes and cause blockages or leaks. As the roots grow, they can wrap around the pipes and exert pressure on them, leading to cracks, fractures, or breaks. This can result in water damage, flooding, and sewage backups, causing significant inconvenience, health hazards, and property damage.

Tree roots are attracted to pipes and drains because they contain water, oxygen, and nutrients. If there are any small cracks or holes in the pipes, tree roots can sense the moisture and begin to grow towards it. Once they reach the pipes, they can enter through the cracks or joints and start to grow inside, causing obstructions that prevent water from flowing through the system.

In some cases, tree roots can completely clog the pipes, preventing any water from passing through. This can lead to backups and overflows, causing sewage to spill out into the surrounding areas. This not only causes a foul odor but also poses health risks to the people in the vicinity.

If tree roots have infiltrated your drainage or pipework systems, it is essential to call a professional plumber like Flow Free Services immediately. Our team has the necessary skills and equipment to diagnose and fix the problem quickly and efficiently. We use advanced technology like CCTV cameras and hydro jetting to locate and remove any tree roots from the pipes without damaging them.

In addition to repairing the damage caused by tree roots, we can also provide preventive measures to prevent future problems. For example, we can install root barriers around your pipes or use chemical treatments to discourage root growth near your drainage or pipework systems.
