We recently attended a drainage blockage and, after carrying out a CCTV camera survey, we found the cause — roots had grown into the drain through a displaced joint.
Root ingress is something we see regularly, particularly in older clay drainage systems. Over time, the joints between sections of clay pipe can move, crack or become displaced. Even a small gap can give roots the opportunity to find their way into the pipe, where they continue to grow and eventually cause a serious blockage.
On this job, we used our Maxi Millerroot-cutting machine to remove the roots and clear the pipe. Once cleared, we then lined over the affected joint, helping to seal the area and bring the joint back into alignment, reducing the risk of the roots returning and preventing further deterioration.
This is why CCTV drain surveys are so important.
A blockage is often just the symptom — the real problem could be a displaced joint, root ingress, cracked pipe or a drain that is starting to collapse.
Getting your drains inspected early can help identify these problems before they turn into major, costly issues, such as a collapsed drain, excavation work or extensive repairs.
If you’re experiencing repeated blockages, slow drainage, bad smells or gurgling sounds, don’t just keep treating the symptoms. Find out what’s actually causing the problem.
Prevention now can save you a lot of money and disruption later.
