Types of Tree Roots That Commonly Invade Sydney Drains
Sydney is filled with mature trees whose root systems are drawn to water sources – like leaking pipes or poorly sealed joins. The most problematic species include:
Fig Trees (Ficus)
Known for aggressive, invasive root systems that target moisture and spread widely underground.
Camphor Laurels
Fast-growing trees with strong, shallow roots that wrap around pipes and displace them.
Jacarandas
Common in Sydney suburbs, their roots seek out sewer lines and enter through cracked joints.
Liquidambars
Beautiful street trees with deep, spreading roots that crush and dislodge older clay pipes.
Eucalyptus
Native gum trees with large, water-seeking root systems capable of invading and collapsing drainpipes.
These roots enter through small cracks, gaps or joins, then grow rapidly inside the pipe – catching debris, causing blockages, and eventually leading to pipe fractures or total collapse.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I just keep jetting the roots out every year?
You could, but it’s not a permanent fix. Without relining or sealing the entry point, roots will return – often stronger. We offer both short-term and long-term solutions.
Will you need to dig up my garden?
In most cases, no. We use trenchless methods like relining and internal cutting to avoid excavation entirely.
Do you offer strata or commercial service agreements?
Yes – we offer scheduled maintenance and camera inspections to prevent emergency callouts.
