Root Cutting & Root Removal in Shirley

Root Cutting & Root Removal in Shirley

Shirley customers looking for root cutting & root removal turn to Pinnacle Drains. Tree and shrub roots are drawn to the moisture and nutrients inside a drain, and once a root finds its way in through a joint, crack or small defect, it can grow rapidly and cause repeated blockages. Root cutting removes this growth from inside the pipe, restoring flow and giving us a clear view of any underlying damage that let the roots in. Pinnacle Drains uses mechanical root-cutting equipment to clear root ingress from drains across Southampton and the surrounding area — an issue we see particularly in older streets with mature trees close to the drainage run. We typically use a CCTV survey first to confirm where the roots have entered and how extensive the growth is, then cut and clear the roots to reopen the pipe. Cutting the roots out addresses the immediate blockage, but because the entry point — a crack, displaced joint or defect — is still there, roots can return unless that underlying damage is also addressed. Depending on what the survey shows, we can advise on further options such as drain relining to seal the entry point and reduce the chances of the same problem recurring, rather than just treating the symptom each time it comes back. Shirley's streets are largely made up of Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing, much of it still connected to the original clay drainage system. As with similar older parts of Southampton, tree root ingress and general pipe deterioration are common causes of the blockages we get called out to.
