Tree roots in pipes removed in Newcastle
Roots do not break into pipes so much as move in. A hairline gap at a joint lets in one fine root, and a few seasons later it is a mat that stops the house draining. We cut them out and seal the gap.

The short answer
Tree roots enter sewer and stormwater pipes through joints and cracks, then grow into a mat that catches waste. Cutting and jetting clears them, but they regrow through the same gaps. The lasting fix is sealing the pipe, usually by relining, or replacing the damaged section. In Hunter Water's area, the pipe on your property up to the connection point is yours to maintain.
