How Vaporooter Solved Tree Root Blocked Drains in Bondi, Sydney
G’day, it’s Dave from Vaporooter Australia, and today I’m celebrating a job well done in Bondi, Sydney. We recently tackled a major issue where the roots of a massive Moreton Bay fig tree were causing persistent blocked drains at a client’s property. This tree’s roots had been infiltrating the house’s drainage system for years, causing significant issues.
After discussing the situation with the homeowners, we applied Vaporooter to stop the tree roots from blocking their drains. This solution works wonders by eliminating invasive roots in sewer pipes and preventing further damage. The best part? Our clients now benefit from the Vaporooter Guarantee. And it didn’t cost thousands of dollars.
What Is the Vaporooter Guarantee?
If you experience a blocked drain due to tree roots after we’ve applied Vaporooter to your property, we’ll come back and clear the blockage free of charge. That’s right, no extra cost. It’s a hassle-free guarantee that ensures your drains stay clear of tree root invasions.
Why Choose Vaporooter?
Vaporooter is a cost-effective, long-term solution to tree root blockages in drains. Instead of costly repairs or pipe replacements, Vaporooter treats the issue at its source by killing off the roots without harming the trees. It’s a trusted method for homeowners dealing with problematic tree roots in drains, like in this Bondi case study.

Why you should see inside your drains.
G’day it’s Dave
I’m walking through a tree lined street in Bondi Junction. I’ve just been to see my eye surgeon because I have a problem with my eyes. But walking down this tree lined street, I’ve walked passed a pipe relining truck and another plumbing truck. I’m sure that in the street behind me there are loads of houses with tree roots growing in their sewer pipes and it made me think, sometimes plumbers tell us there are things going on in our drains but they don’t show us.
Most of those plumbers have drain cameras as we do. If your plumber tells you that you have problems in your drains ask him if you can see the vision of what is going on in your pipes.
Yes, if you have a broken pipe, caused by the roots of the wonderful trees in this street then you may need to have your pipes relined. But if you only have roots growing into the pipes through the pipe joints then you may not. And rather than spending $1000 dollars per metre on relining all of your pipes, you don’t need to spend all of that money.
Vaporooter is a viable alternative. It’s cost effective and it works!
The key to todays’ video is all about the eyes. If your plumber tells you he sees tree roots in your drains or you have broken pipes that need relining, ask him if you can see that video. It’s a reasonable request. The plumber is going to charge you for putting his drain camera in your pipes I am recommending you ask the plumber to see the footage. In todays electronic world he should be able to share that with you without much fuss.
If you have any questions about blocked drains caused by tree roots, I invite you to ask me.

A Strategy for Property Managers
I know the lead up to the Easter break was hectic, and you may not have seen my Easter Long-Weekend post .

Despite the holiday’s being over, the repercussions of a blocked sewer persists, causing disruptions and unnecessary discomfort to your tenants, your owners and you. If you’re facing post-Easter drain disasters, here’s a comprehensive guide to help manage the situation and prevent future Blocked Drains.
Address Any Immediate Concerns
Respond promptly and with empathy to tenant reports of blocked drains following the Easter break. Assure them that you’re taking necessary steps to resolve the issue. Arrange for a professional plumber to assess the situation promptly, prioritizing those properties with urgent drainage problems.
Fun Fact

Identifying the Root Cause
During the inspection, your plumber will determine the underlying cause of the blockage. Tree roots infiltrating sewer lines are often to blame, particularly during periods of increased growth like our long hot summer. To say these invasive tree roots can wreak havoc on plumbing systems, leading to Blocked Drains and potential damage if left unattended is a little melodramatic however, it can be pretty unpleasant.
Implementing Long-Term Solutions
While addressing immediate concerns is vital, focus on implementing long-term solutions to prevent recurrence. Consider Vaporooter as a proactive solution for inhibiting root growth in sewer drains. By treating affected pipes with Vaporooter, you create a protective barrier that deters Tree Root regrowth, safeguarding against future blockages and costly repairs.
Communicating with Tenants
Maintain transparent communication throughout the process, updating tenants on any repair status and preventive measures being taken. Encourage your tenants to report any signs of drainage problems promptly. Empower them to play an active role in property maintenance and preservation.
Routine Maintenance and Vigilance
Prioritize routine maintenance to ensure the ongoing health of plumbing systems. Schedule regular inspections and maintenance checks, especially for properties with mature trees nearby. Stay vigilant and proactive to mitigate the risk of future Blocked Drain disasters and minimize disruptions for tenants.
Conclusion
Post-Easter drain disasters might feel like an unwelcome surprise egg hunt, but fear not! With a proactive approach and the right strategies in place, you can crack down on those stubborn blockages. By addressing immediate concerns, implementing long-term solutions like Vaporooter, and keeping the lines of communication flowing with your tenants, you’ll emerge victorious against those relentless tree roots.

Spring is coming and your tree roots are in the gym
As spring approaches and the temperatures start to rise, trees begin to prepare for their active growth phase. During winter, many trees enter a state of dormancy, where their metabolic processes slow down to conserve energy and protect themselves from cold temperatures. As spring arrives, the tree root system becomes quite active in response to changing environmental conditions. Here’s what the tree root system is doing as spring approaches:
- Absorbing water and nutrients: As the ground warms up and rainfall increases, the tree roots become more active in absorbing water and essential nutrients from the soil. This is crucial for supporting the tree’s growth and development during the upcoming growing season. Your sewer pipes are an easy source of water and nutrients
- Sending signals to the rest of the tree: The root system communicates with the above-ground parts of the tree through chemical and hormonal signals. This communication helps coordinate the tree’s growth and responses to the environmental cues.
- Extending and branching out: Tree roots grow and expand as the soil becomes more suitable for root growth. The root system will extend further into the surrounding soil, and new root branches will form to explore fresh areas for water and nutrients.
- Establishing new relationships: Many trees form symbiotic relationships with fungi in the soil. These fungi help the tree roots by extending their nutrient-absorbing capacity, and in return, the tree provides sugars produced through photosynthesis to the fungi. During spring, these relationships become more active and beneficial.
- Repairing and regenerating: Like any living organism, tree roots may experience some damage or stress during winter. As spring arrives, the tree allocates resources to repair and regenerate any damaged parts of the root system.
- Preparing for shoot growth: The root system plays a crucial role in providing the necessary resources for the tree’s above-ground parts, such as leaves, branches, and buds. As the tree prepares for new shoot growth in spring, the tree root system ramps up its activity to support the upcoming foliage and flower production.
In summary, the tree root system becomes highly active during late winter and early spring, absorbing water and nutrients, establishing beneficial relationships with fungi, extending into new areas, and coordinating with the rest of the tree to support its growth and development throughout the upcoming season.

How to keep tree roots out of drain pipes.
There is always more than one way to skin a cat! Here are four commonly used methods to prevent tree roots from blocking your drain pipes, along with a general cost comparison:
- Chemical Root Treatment: This method involves the use of chemical substances to inhibit root growth and entry into the pipes. The cost of chemical root treatments can vary depending on the size and length of the pipe being treated, the severity of the root intrusion, and the specific chemicals used. Typically, the cost ranges from $300 to $800 per treatment, and treatments may be required annually.
- Physical Barriers: Installing physical barriers, such as root barriers or copper sulfate-impregnated strips, can prevent tree roots from reaching and damaging terracotta pipes. The cost of physical barriers will depend on factors like the length of the barrier required and the labor involved in installation. On average, the cost can range from $200 to $400 per linear metre, including materials and installation.
- Pipe Renewal: Completely replacing the old terracotta pipes with more modern materials like PVC can effectively solve the problem of root intrusion. However, this method is typically more expensive and disruptive. The cost of pipe replacement can vary significantly depending on factors like the length of the pipe, depth of installation, and accessibility. As a rough estimate, the cost can range from $500 to $2500 per linear metre, including excavation, removal of old pipes, and installation of new ones.
- Pipe Relining: Relining creates a new and seamless pipe within the old one, which is made of a durable and long-lasting epoxy resin material. This can extend the life of your pipes for several decades and prevent future root intrusion and blockages. Estimates range between $1,000- $1,500 per metre depending on the access to the pipes to be relined.
It’s important to note that these cost estimates are approximate and can vary depending on various factors like location, specific project requirements, labor costs, and contractor fees. It is recommended to consult with local professionals to obtain accurate cost estimates for your specific situation.
