ROOT CUTTING & ROOT INTRUSION


Tree roots enter drains through joints and cracks, then trap debris and cause repeat blockages. We cut and remove root intrusion across Wakefield and flush out debris to restore flow.

Where roots have damaged the pipework, we can advise on the next step — including repairs that involve excavation and reinstatement if needed.
