Why roots keep coming back

Snaking through roots is like mowing a lawn.

Roots grow back in 3-6 months. Cutting them isn't a fix — sealing the joint is. We jet, RootX-treat, and reline the damaged joint if CCTV shows the pipe is fractured. Lifetime workmanship guarantee. 50-year product warranty on relined sections.

What CCTV finds at the root site

Why this drain blocks at exactly the same point.

Tree roots find the pipe joint, expand, and over years fracture the pipe wall. Each photo below is from a Sydney mainline this week.

Finding 01

Root intrusion at joint

The classic signature — fibrous mass exactly at the joint between two pipe sections.

Finding 02

Root-damaged joint

Years of root pressure offsets the joint. Even after clearing, the lip catches everything.

Finding 03

Cracked pipe at root entry

Root pressure fractures the pipe wall around the joint. Reline seals it permanently.

Finding 04

Pipe collapse from long-term roots

Untreated roots eventually fully fracture the pipe. Excavation or reline required.

Finding 05

Root-induced sag

Root mass under the pipe sags the line. Water sits in the low point.

Finding 06

Root site + grease combination

Roots catch grease passing the joint. Multiple problems at the same metre.

From third-time blockage to permanent fix

Diagnose the cause. Fix it properly.

Free CCTV scope

We find the exact metre where roots are entering. Footage emailed.

Hydro-jet root cut

Specialist root-cutter nozzle shears the root mass from inside the pipe.

RootX foam treatment

Foaming herbicide treats the entry point. Kills regrowth at the joint for 12-24 months.

Reline if pipe is damaged

If CCTV shows the joint is fractured, we quote a spot reline. 50-year warranty seals the joint permanently.

A note from the owner

When you call, you get me — or someone I trained.

“We started Mr Splash because too many Sydney homeowners were paying twice — once to snake the drain, then again two months later when it blocked again. A camera fixes that. We see the actual problem and quote the actual fix.”

Mr Splash is family-owned and licensed (Lic #306457C, Master Plumbers NSW). Every plumber on the team works under that licence. No franchisees, no third-party operators, no overseas call centres. One Sydney number, one team, one accountable owner.

“

Three plumbers over two years. Same drain blocked every six months. Mr Splash jetted the roots, RootX'd the joint, then relined it. Six months on, still clear.

Council tree on the nature strip we can't touch. Mr Splash sealed the joint so the roots can't re-enter. Stopped the annual blockage cycle.

★★★★★

“

Showed me the actual root mass they pulled out — kilos of it. Then relined the cracked joint. No more re-blockages.

Common questions

Answered before you ask.

Why do tree roots keep coming back to the same drain?

Roots find moisture and oxygen at pipe joints — once they've grown into a joint, snaking just trims them. They regrow within 3-6 months. The permanent fix is to seal the joint with a no-dig reline so roots can't re-enter.

What's the difference between RootX, jet blasting, and relining?

Jet blasting cuts the existing root mass out. RootX is a foaming chemical that kills regrowth at the entry point and lasts 12-24 months. Relining seals the damaged section permanently with a 50-year product warranty. We pick the method based on what CCTV finds.

How much does tree root removal cost?

Hydro-jet + RootX treatment starts from $390. If CCTV shows pipe damage requiring reline, spot reline starts from $2,500. Free CCTV scope first — no obligation.

Do I have to remove the tree?

Almost never. Council trees are usually protected anyway. The fix is sealing the pipe, not removing the tree — once the joint is relined, roots have nowhere to enter.

Will the roots damage my whole sewer line?

Long-term, yes — root pressure cracks pipe walls, accelerating collapse. That's why we recommend acting on recurring root blockages rather than re-clearing forever.

How fast can you come out?

Within the hour for emergency call-outs across Sydney metro. Free CCTV diagnosis on the same visit if booked as a drain service.

Is there a warranty on the work?

Lifetime workmanship guarantee on every job. If we reline a section, you also get the 50-year product warranty on the liner.

Ready when you are

Stop clearing the same line every six months.
