Persistent **Blocked Drains** and **Tree Root Removal**

The beautiful, mature trees in River Club often pose a significant threat to older sewer and storm water lines. **Tree root intrusion** is a primary cause of recurring blockages and drain collapses in the area. We offer comprehensive drainage solutions:

• **CCTV Drain Inspection:** We use **drain cameras** to accurately locate root damage and structural faults (like pipe separation or collapse) before beginning work.
• **High-Pressure Hydro-Jetting:** Utilizing powerful water jets to cut and clear tree roots and thoroughly scour pipe walls, providing a clear flow that lasts longer than standard rodding.
• **Permanent Repair:** Targeted pipe repair or relining to prevent future root growth without extensive trenching.

**River Club Plumbing FAQ** (Frequently Asked Questions)

Q: Why do my drains block so often in River Club?
