Roots penetrate through the tiniest of gaps and grow larger Causing cracked and broken pipe lines that can be observed on paths and near trees.
Roots are attracted to Drainage pipes due to the moist environment being warmer than the surrounding soil outside of the pipes, creating condensation at the joint of the drainage pipe, in turn giving the roots moisture for perfect growing conditions.
Roots do not just cause the blockages restricting the flow of sewerage but they can also cause structural damage. This causes sewage to leak out into the environment and can result in a collapsed drain.
