We bring over a decade of hands-on experience to every job, combining expert knowledge with advanced technology.

Our reputation in the community matters to us, and we work hard to keep our customers’ drainage flowing freely.

You can’t fix what you can’t see. That’s why our first step in dealing with root ingress in Chadderton is always a comprehensive CCTV drain survey. We use high-tech cameras to navigate your pipework, giving us a crystal-clear view of the inside. This lets us pinpoint the exact location of any tree or hedge root intrusion, assess the extent of the blockage, and check for any damage the roots might have caused, like cracks or joint displacement. This precise diagnosis means we can plan the most effective root removal and repair strategy, saving you time and money.

Once we’ve identified the root problem, our skilled team gets to work. We employ powerful high-pressure water jetting units, specifically designed to cut through stubborn roots and blast them out of your drainage system. Sometimes, we'll attach specialist cutters to the jetting hose for particularly dense root masses. This isn’t just about clearing a blockage; it’s about thoroughly cleaning the pipe walls, removing all the root debris, silt, and scale that can accumulate. Our professional approach restores full flow and helps prevent the problem from quickly returning.

Removing the roots is often just part of the solution. If roots have damaged your pipes, leaving cracks or open joints, they’ll just find their way back in over time. Flo Drainage offers a range of drain repair options, from traditional excavation for severe damage to modern ‘no-dig’ pipe relining. Pipe relining creates a new, robust pipe within the old one, sealing off entry points for roots without the need for disruptive digging. We’ll discuss the best long-term strategy with you to keep your Chadderton drainage system safe from future root invasions.
