Our team is ready to respond across Sydney and the Central Coast, clearing blockages and protecting your plumbing system from future root damage.

    Our Tree Root Drain Blockage Solutions

    1. CCTV Drain Camera Inspection & Hydro Jetting

    We begin with a detailed CCTV drain inspection to locate any root intrusions. If tree roots are found, we use high-pressure water jetting with root-cutting nozzles to break down and flush out all obstructions. A follow-up inspection is then done with you present to confirm the drains are fully cleared.

    2. Root Inhibitor Treatment

    To help prevent roots from regrowing, we apply a safe herbicidal treatment that won’t harm surrounding trees or garden areas—ideal for long-term protection.

    3. Trenchless Pipe Relining

    For pipes that have been cracked or collapsed by roots, we offer no-dig pipe relining. This process repairs the damage from within by creating a new pipe lining inside the existing one—quick, clean, and built to last.

    4. Fast, On-Time Service

    Our fully equipped team is based locally across Sydney and the Central Coast, ready for scheduled or emergency jobs. We arrive on time and resolve most issues on the spot.

    How Tree Roots Clog Your Drains – What You Can Do About It

    Tree roots are a leading cause of blocked drains. Underground, they naturally grow toward moisture—and even the smallest crack or joint in your pipe can let them in. Once inside, the roots thrive in the damp environment, forming thick, net-like structures that trap grease, food scraps, and waste.

    Common Signs of a Tree Root Blockage:

    • Toilets or showers backing up with wastewater
    • Sinks and drains emptying slowly – or not at all
    • Pooling water in laundry areas or outdoor drains
    • Gurgling sounds from your plumbing
    • Persistent foul odours
    • Cracked or collapsed pipes

    What To Do If You Notice the Signs

    If you’re experiencing any of the above issues, don’t wait. Tree root damage only gets worse with time. At WSG Group, we’ll quickly inspect your drains, clear any root blockages, and recommend preventative solutions to protect your system for the long haul.

    Effective Tree Root Removal and Prevention for Blocked Drains

    Tree root intrusions are one of the most common causes of blocked drains in Sydney homes. While many people worry that removing roots might harm trees or plants, attempting it yourself without proper tools and experience can be dangerous—and ineffective.

    WSG Group provides safe and reliable tree root drain repair solutions that protect both your plumbing and your landscape. Whether it’s an emergency or routine maintenance, we’re here to help.

    Our Proven Tree Root Removal & Prevention Process

    1. Tree Root Cutting

    We use high-pressure water jetting with specialised nozzles to safely cut and dislodge invasive roots inside your pipes.

    2. Drain Unclogging & Flushing

    Once the roots are cut, we flush out all remaining debris to restore full water flow and prevent further blockages.

    3. Root Regrowth Prevention

    To stop roots from returning, we apply a safe herbicidal solution that targets regrowth without harming nearby vegetation—a critical part of long-term prevention.

    4. Repairing Root-Damaged Pipes

    If tree roots have damaged or collapsed your pipes, we inspect them using a CCTV drain camera. In most cases, we recommend trenchless pipe relining to repair the pipe without digging up your yard—a clean, cost-effective solution.

    Why You Might Need Emergency Tree Removal Services

    Tree emergencies can strike unexpectedly—especially after wild weather like storms, strong winds, or heavy rain. These situations can be dangerous and need urgent attention to protect your home, power lines, and family.

    Here’s why you might need emergency tree removal:

    • Severe Weather Damage
      Trees can crack, lean, or fall due to storms or high winds, posing a serious safety risk to people and property.
    • Diseased or Decaying Trees
      Even without bad weather, trees that are rotting or structurally weak can suddenly collapse, especially in high-traffic areas.
    • Visible Warning Signs
      Cracks in the trunk, sagging or broken branches, exposed roots, or leaning trees are all red flags that a tree may soon fall.
    • Risk to Property or Safety
      Trees close to homes, fences, vehicles, or power lines can quickly turn hazardous and need to be removed before they cause damage.

    What to Do – Emergency Tree Removal Checklist

    • Get a Proper Assessment
      Call a certified arborist to inspect the tree and determine the safest removal method.
    • Check Council Approval
      If the tree is protected or near shared property or services, you may need a permit from your local council.
    • Safe Removal & Cleanup
      Once approved, professionals will safely remove the tree using the right equipment and clean up all debris.

    This company exceeded my expectation on every level, on a Friday afternoon my wife called frantic about an overflowing toilet, she spoke with a lovely lady in the office that was understanding and calmed my wife straight away assuring us we were in good hands and they definitely delivered. Two team members attended our property within 45 mins late Friday afternoon, cleared the blockage and cleaned up the mess, within 2 hours it was like it never happened! I am thoroughly impressed with this team from start to finish even the price was less than I expected. Will definitely use again and highly recommend to anyone in need. Thank you again WSG Group

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Most blockages caused by tree roots can be cleared within a few hours, depending on the severity and access. Emergency jobs are prioritised and often resolved the same day.
    Do I need council approval to remove tree roots from my drains?
    Generally, no approval is needed to remove roots from inside private plumbing lines. However, if a tree needs to be removed or trimmed significantly, you may require council permission—especially for heritage or protected trees.
    Can you prevent tree root problems during landscaping or renovations?
    Yes, we offer plumbing services during renovations or new landscaping. We can inspect your existing pipe layout and advise on safe planting zones to avoid root issues in the future.
    Do you offer same-day emergency services for blocked drains?
    Yes, our local team services all of Sydney and the Central Coast and can often respond on the same day—especially in emergencies like overflowing drains or blocked toilets.
    Can tree roots grow back after removal?
    Yes, if not treated properly, tree roots can grow back into your pipes. That’s why we always recommend applying a root inhibitor after removal to prevent regrowth and protect your plumbing long-term.
