Tree Roots Causing Drain Problems

It's a common issue for homeowners right across Gateshead, Tyne & Wear, and indeed throughout our 35-mile service radius around Pelaw – beautiful mature trees can sometimes cause havoc underground. Their roots are always seeking out moisture and nutrients, and unfortunately, that makes your drainage pipes a prime target. Even tiny cracks or loose joints in older pipes can allow a root to sneak in, and once inside, it'll grow rapidly, thriving on the wastewater flowing through.

Why Choose Uberfix?

Signs Your Drains Might Have Root Intrusion

Catching root intrusion early can save you a lot of hassle and cost. Look out for slow-draining sinks, toilets, or showers, especially if the problem seems to be affecting multiple drains. You might hear gurgling noises from your pipes. Sometimes, you'll notice lush, green patches in your garden directly above a drain run – that's the roots getting a good feed! If you see any of these signs, it's worth getting it checked out promptly.

Who We Are

Why Root Intrusion is a Serious Issue

Ignoring roots in your drains won't make them go away. As the roots grow thicker and stronger, they don't just cause blockages; they can exert significant pressure on your pipes, leading to cracks, joint displacement, or even complete pipe collapse. This can result in costly sewage backups, ground subsidence, and potential damage to your property's foundations. Dealing with it sooner rather than later is always the best approach.

Finding the Problem with CCTV Drain Surveys

You can't fix what you can't see, and that's where our CCTV drain surveys come in. Using state-of-the-art camera technology, we can send a high-resolution camera right into your drain system. This allows our experienced drainage engineers to pinpoint the exact location and extent of the root intrusion, identify any other damage, and assess the overall condition of your pipes. It's a non-destructive way to get a clear picture of what's going on underground.
