Root Removal
Mechanical root cutting plus jetting to clear intrusions and a plan to keep them from returning.
Root Removal, explained plainly.
Tree roots find the moisture at pipe joints and grow inward until they fill the pipe. We cut them out mechanically with root-cutting heads, jet the line to wash out the debris, and show you on camera whether the joints are intact enough to keep or need lining.

Mechanical root cutting followed by jetting removes the full root mass, not just a channel through it.
Once the roots are cut and flushed the pipe wall is clear and waste flows freely again.
We set a maintenance interval, or seal the joints with a liner so roots cannot re-enter, and the tree stays.

Will the roots grow back?+
Yes, unless the joint is sealed. Annual cutting keeps them under control; lining stops them for good.
Do root-killing chemicals work?+
They can slow regrowth after mechanical cutting but do not clear an existing blockage.
