🌳🚽 Blocked Toilet? Tree Roots Could Be the Culprit!
We were recently called out to a blocked toilet that just wouldn’t drain properly.
After removing the toilet, we quickly found the problem—the sewer drain was completely packed with tree roots! 🌱
We extracted a massive root measuring approximately 2.5 metres long from the pipe. Once the roots were removed, the drain was flowing freely again.
Tree roots are one of the most common causes of blocked drains. They enter through small cracks or pipe joints, then continue to grow inside the pipe until they create a complete blockage.
If your toilet is gurgling, draining slowly, or backing up, don’t ignore the warning signs. Early intervention can save you from a much bigger repair bill.
