    A Growing Concern in Bournemouth

    Bournemouth is known for its beautiful beaches and historic gardens. However, beneath the surface, tree roots can cause serious problems for local drainage systems.

    As one of the leading drainage companies in the area, Pro Drainage has seen the damage tree roots can cause. Over time, roots can enter drains, restrict water flow and lead to blockages.

    Therefore, in this blog, we explore how tree roots affect drains. We also explain how our drainage specialists can identify and resolve these problems.

    The Root of the Problem

    Trees are a beautiful feature in parks and gardens. However, beneath the ground, their roots constantly search for water and nutrients.

    As a result, roots are naturally attracted to moisture around drainage systems. They can enter through even small cracks or joints in the pipes. Once inside, the roots continue to grow and can eventually cause serious blockages.

    Why Bournemouth is Especially at Risk

    Bournemouth’s many gardens, parks and green spaces make tree root problems more common. The area’s vegetation and soil provide ideal conditions for roots to grow.

    Furthermore, as Bournemouth expands, drainage systems can sit close to established trees. As a result, roots may enter nearby pipes and cause blocked drains. Older drainage systems can be particularly vulnerable to this type of root intrusion.

    Overflow & Flooding

    As water cannot flow freely, it may lead to overflow, causing potential flooding in your garden or property.

    Bad Odours

    A blocked drain can lead to stagnant water and waste build-up, emitting unpleasant smells.

    Pipe Damage

    Prolonged root intrusion can cause pipes to break or collapse, necessitating costly repairs or replacements.

    Health Concerns

    Blocked drains can become breeding grounds for pests and bacteria, posing health risks to residents.

    Prevention & Remedies

    1. Regular Inspection: Regular CCTV drain surveys can identify early signs of root intrusion. In addition, they can locate other potential drainage problems. This allows specialists to find the affected area and recommend the right solution.
    2. Root Removal: Once roots are identified, specialist cutting equipment can remove them. High-pressure water jetting can then help clear the drain.
    3. Pipe Relining: After removing the roots, damaged pipes may need relining. This reinforces the pipe and helps prevent roots from entering again.
    4. Septic Tank Maintenance: If you have a septic system, regular maintenance is essential. Pro Drainage can inspect and maintain your system, helping to reduce the risk of future problems caused by tree roots.
