What this covers

Mechanical root cutting where roots have invaded older earthenware joints.

Do this first

  • Keep clear of sewage and electrics near standing water.
  • Avoid pouring more water into a blocked fitting.
  • Note whether multiple fixtures are affected and photograph any overflow if safe.
