The Tree Root Problems We Fix
Tree root removal from drains and sewers across Sydney: the roots cut out first, the entry point found on camera, then the permanent fix at a fixed price.
Roots In The Main Sewer Line
Every drain slow, or the toilet backing up when the shower runs. Roots have grown into the line to the street. We cut them out and mark where they got in.
Roots From Trees Near The House
Big gums, figs and palms send roots to the water in an old clay line. The camera finds the joint they got through so it can be sealed, and the tree can stay.
Drains That Keep Blocking
Cleared a few months ago and blocked again. Roots regrow through the same crack every time until the crack is fixed. We show you the crack on screen.
How Bad Is Your Tree Root Problem?
Three ways tree roots show up in a drain, most to least urgent, and what to do.
Blocked Right Now
Roots have sealed the line and sewage is rising in the toilet, shower or the gully outside. It needs clearing today, before it backs up inside. Call: we cut the roots out and get it flowing.
Roots Keep Coming Back
Cleared before, blocked again a few months later. Roots regrow through the same crack every time. Clearing again treats the symptom; the camera shows the entry point so it can be sealed once.
Cracked Or Collapsed Pipe
As roots thicken they split the joint or crack the clay pipe they grew through. We quote the permanent repair, relining or a section replaced, as a fixed price, and dig only when there is no better way.
How We Get Tree Roots Out For Good
Tree root removal from drains, Sydney wide: cut them out, prove where they get in, seal the entry, with the price agreed before each step.
Same-day arrivalCut The Roots Out
A camera cannot see through a root mass, so clearing comes first. Root cutters and the jet blaster cut the roots out and scour the pipe back to full width, not just a hole through the middle.
Fixed price firstSee Where They Get In
With the line cleared, the CCTV camera goes in and you see the footage on the spot: the exact joint or crack the roots are growing through. No guesswork.
Tested before we leaveSeal The Entry For Good
You get a fixed price for sealing the entry point: no-dig relining where it suits, a section repair where it does not. Roots cannot regrow through a sealed liner, and bigger repairs are booked as a planned job with your drain already flowing.

Tree Root Removal FAQs
Answer:
It depends on what the camera finds. A straightforward cut and clear is one fixed price, quoted before we start, and there is nothing to pay just for us to come and look during business hours. If the roots have cracked the pipe, we quote the permanent repair separately, either no-dig relining or a section repair, and you approve that price before any work begins.
Answer:
Foaming root killers can burn the roots back inside the pipe for a season, but they do nothing about the crack the roots grew in through, so they come back. Cutting clears the pipe to full width, and sealing the entry point is what stops them for good.
Answer:
A root cutter or high-pressure jet blaster cuts the roots out and scours the pipe wall clean. The CCTV camera then goes in to find the exact crack or joint the roots entered through, which is what the permanent fix has to seal.
Answer:
The classic signs are a drain that keeps blocking every few months, gurgling from the toilet or floor waste, more than one fixture draining slowly, or a patch of yard that stays damp. Roots are one of the most common causes we find on camera in older clay pipes.
Answer:
If the entry point is left open, yes. Roots regrow through the same crack, often within months. Sealing it with a cured-in-place liner removes the moisture that attracts them, and roots cannot grow through the new pipe wall.
Answer:
Usually not. No-dig pipe relining repairs the damaged section from inside the pipe through the existing access points. We only recommend excavation when a pipe has collapsed or shifted too far for a liner to bridge, and the camera inspection tells us which one you need.
Answer:
As the property owner you are generally responsible for the private pipes on your side of the boundary, even when the tree belongs to someone else. We document the damage on camera, which is the evidence you need if you take it up with council or your insurer.
Answer:
Rarely. Roots seek out the water leaking from a cracked pipe. Seal the pipe and the roots have no reason to come back, so the tree can usually stay.
Answer:
We are available 24/7 across Sydney and can typically be with you within the hour for an urgent blockage. After-hours and weekend call-outs may attract a fee at our discretion, and we always confirm that with you before we attend.
