Root cutting job completed with our Maxi Miller

We recently carried out a root cutting job for a customer where tree roots had made their way into the drainage system — a common cause of blockages and ongoing issues.

Using our Maxi Miller machine, we were able to cut through and remove the intrusive roots safely and effectively, restoring proper flow without the need for excavation

So how does it work?

The Maxi Miller uses powerful rotating cutting heads that travel through the pipe, breaking up and clearing roots that have penetrated the drains — getting things back to normal quickly and efficiently.

Tree roots can cause serious damage if left untreated, so catching the problem early is key.

Drainage Investigation – Issue Located

We were recently called to a property where the homeowners had been dealing with repeated drainage problems. During our investigation, we identified the root cause — a manhole that had been covered over during a home extension, leaving no access to the drainage system.

When access points are hidden or built over, routine maintenance and blockage removal become extremely difficult, often leading to more serious issues over time.

We’ve now confirmed the exact location and advised the customer on the best options for creating safe, future access — helping to protect the system and avoid ongoing problems.

Keeping drainage access points visible and accessible can save significant time, disruption, and repair costs.
