FAQs — Root Cutting in Fleetwood
Can root cutting damage my pipes?
Not when sized correctly. The cutter is matched to the bore so it strips the root mass without scoring the pipe wall. We always CCTV afterwards so you can see the condition of the pipe.
Will the roots grow back?
Mechanical cutting clears the existing mass but the joints are still open, so roots can return — usually after 12–24 months in older clay drains. CIPP lining seals the joints permanently and is the long-term fix when ingress keeps recurring.
