What this covers
Mechanical root cutting where roots have invaded clay drain joints.
Do this first
- Keep clear of sewage and electrics near standing water.
- Avoid pouring more water into a blocked fitting.
- Note whether upstairs and downstairs drains are affected and photograph any overflow if safe.
