Signs You Have Root Intrusion
- Frequent blockages or slow drainage. Drains that keep blocking or slowing down usually mean roots are restricting flow.
- Gurgling sounds from your toilet. Bubbling or gurgling often signals roots obstructing the main sewer line.
- Water backing up into fixtures. Backups in showers, sinks, or gully traps point to a partial root blockage.
- Cracks or misaligned pipe joints. Older clay and concrete lines commonly have weak points where roots enter and grow.
Our Root Cutting Process (Designed for Hawke’s Bay Conditions)
We identify root intrusion, locate the exact entry point, and assess any damaged joints using HD drain cameras. Perfect for older clay systems common in Napier and Hastings.
Specialist cutting tools slice through roots inside the pipe — fast, safe, and non-invasive. Ideal for removing:

If your drain is blocking, gurgling, or backing up, there’s a high chance tree roots are growing inside your sewer or stormwater line. Even if your pipe is in perfect condition, roots will always grow back over time — it’s in their nature to seek water. Cutting the roots clears the blockage now and restores full flow, but ongoing maintenance is essential to keep your drains running properly.
