Concrete Cutting / Root Removal

How Our Concrete Cutting / Root Removal Services Work

Our Concrete Cutting and Root Removal services are crucial for maintaining a clear and efficient drainage installation. Over time, tree roots can infiltrate drainage pipes in search of water, causing blockages, damage, and even structural issues. Our specialised service begins with a CCTV survey to identify areas where roots have intruded or where concrete obstructions are affecting the drainage flow. This inspection helps us target problem areas with precision, avoiding unnecessary disruption.

For root removal, we use advanced cutting equipment to safely eliminate root growth within the pipes, restoring the drainage system’s full capacity without harming the surrounding structures. In cases where concrete obstructions are present, our concrete cutting tools allow us to carefully remove the blockage, ensuring that the drainage pipes remain intact and fully functional. Both processes are performed with minimal excavation, preserving your property while resolving the issue effectively.

Once the roots or concrete have been cleared, we conduct a follow-up inspection to verify that the drainage installation is free from obstructions and flowing smoothly. Our professional approach to concrete cutting and root removal keeps your drainage system in top condition, preventing recurring issues and extending the system’s lifespan, ultimately saving you time and expense in future repairs.
