Root Intrusion Removal in Sydney, Central Coast and Newcastle
Fast, effective removal of tree roots from blocked drains and sewer lines
Tree roots are one of the most common and damaging causes of blocked drains. They search for moisture, enter small cracks in pipes, and quickly grow into major obstructions. If left untreated, root intrusion can lead to recurring blockages, pipe damage, sewage backups, and costly repairs. Ontime Tradie provides professional root intrusion removal services across Sydney, the Central Coast and Newcastle to clear your pipes and restore proper flow.
Whether the issue is causing slow drainage or a complete blockage, our licensed plumbers use proven methods to remove roots safely and prevent ongoing problems.
What’s Involved in Our Root Intrusion Removal Service?
Removing tree roots requires more than a quick clear. We focus on locating the cause and removing it properly.
Our Root Removal Process:
- Initial assessment of drainage issues and symptoms
- Drain camera inspection to locate root entry points
- Mechanical cutting or jet blasting to remove roots
- Clearing debris and flushing the line thoroughly
- Post removal inspection to confirm clear flow
- Advice on preventing future root intrusion
This approach ensures the blockage is fully cleared, not just pushed further down the line.

These signs usually indicate roots have entered the pipe and need professional removal.

How do you find where the roots are inside the drain?
We use drain camera inspections to locate root intrusion accurately.
