Root Removal Inside Lateral Connection in a lined, 8-Inch Pipe

Location: Southern California

Obstruction Type: Roots
Pipe type: 8-inch, lined VCP
Year: 2019
Region: Southern California

Our client was responsible for the service connections on their pipes, but was unable to obtain access to many of the properties to provide the required maintenance. They needed a solution that would not only remove the roots, but break multiple stoppages in the process and trim a number of protruding laterals at the same time.

Using our versatile system, we were able to provide exactly the solution required, quickly and easily eliminating the connection from inside the mainline pipe. Following root removal, we applied an herbicide root control that helps keep the roots from growing back for two or three years.
