What we offer
Cut the roots, then deal with the cause
Tree roots are the single most common structural cause of recurring drainage blockages in older Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Essex & London properties. Roots find their way through tiny gaps at clay pipework joints and thicken over years into a dense fibrous mass that completely bridges the pipe. Standard rodding will not shift them; standard jetting alone often will not either.
Call2Drain uses rotating root-cutter nozzles on the jetter - hardened blades that cut the root mass back to bare pipe in a single pass. CCTV before and after confirms the location of the ingress and the result of the cutting work.
Cutting restores flow but does not fix the underlying problem - the joint or crack the roots came through is still there, so the roots will grow back. Where the joint is damaged we recommend patch lining or full relining to seal the entry route and stop the roots returning long term.

Cut the roots, then deal with the joint they came through
Tree roots are the most common structural cause of recurring blockages in older Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Essex & London drainage. They find the smallest gap at a clay pipe joint and thicken over years into a dense fibrous mass that ordinary rodding and jetting simply will not shift.
Rotating root-cutter nozzles on the jetter strip the root mass back to bare pipe in a single pass, with CCTV before and after to confirm the location and the result. Because cutting alone leaves the damaged joint open to regrowth, we recommend patch lining or relining to seal the entry route and stop the roots returning.

FAQs
Common questions
How do I know if my drain has roots?
Recurring slow-drain symptoms in older properties with mature trees nearby - especially silver birch, willow or poplar - are the strongest indicator. CCTV confirms it.
Will cutting solve it permanently?
Cutting restores flow but the joint will still let new roots in. For a permanent fix we patch line or reline the damaged section.
How quickly can you attend?
Same-day for active blockages caused by root ingress. Planned visits for non-urgent diagnosis the next working day.
