Drainage Solutions for Tree Root Intrusion in Auckland

Tree root intrusion is a common cause of drainage problems in Auckland properties. As trees grow, their roots can penetrate and damage pipes, leading to blockages, leaks, and other issues. At Ninja Drainage and Civil, we provide effective solutions to address the consequences of tree root intrusion and restore your drainage system’s functionality.

Understanding the Impact of Tree Roots on Drainage Systems

Tree roots are naturally drawn to the moisture and nutrients found in drainage pipes. As they grow, they can:

• Cause cracks and fractures in pipes
• Create blockages that impede water flow
• Lead to leaks and water damage
• Cause foul odours and unsanitary conditions

Identifying tree root intrusion early is crucial to prevent extensive damage and costly repairs. Common signs include slow draining, frequent clogs, gurgling sounds, and damp spots in your yard.

Assessing the Extent of Tree Root Damage

When you suspect tree root intrusion, the first step is to isolate the problem and determine its location. Our sister company, Drain Ninjas, supports us in this process with their CCTV drain discovery solution. This advanced technology allows them to accurately identify the location and extent of root growth inside your pipes without the need for extensive excavation.

Once the CCTV inspection is complete, you can come to Ninja Drainage and Civil with the information provided by Drain Ninjas. We’ll use this data to assess the damage caused by tree roots and provide you with a quote for the necessary repairs.

Effective Solutions for Tree Root Intrusion

Depending on the severity of the issue, various solutions can be employed to tackle the consequences of tree root intrusion:

• Pipe Repair: If tree roots have caused cracks or fractures in your pipes, Ninja Drainage and Civil can perform targeted repairs to seal the damage and prevent further root infiltration.
• Pipe Replacement: In cases of extensive root damage or outdated pipe materials, we may recommend replacing the affected sections of your drainage system. Our certified drainlayers will install new, durable pipes that are resistant to root intrusion.

For root removal services, we recommend consulting with a qualified arborist or tree service professional, as this requires specialised expertise outside our drainage services.

Our solutions are tailored to your property’s unique needs, ensuring effective and long-lasting results.

Preventing tree root intrusion is easier than dealing with its consequences.

This proactive maintenance approach helps ensure ongoing drain performance, and prevent unpleasant and expensive problems.
