Trees, Roots and Blocked Drains

Tokai's mature gardens and big trees are part of its charm, but roots go looking for water, and older drain pipes are an easy target. Drains that keep blocking no matter how often they're cleared are often a sign of roots in the line.

We clear the blockage properly, arrange a camera inspection to see the real cause, and where the pipe is damaged, relining can seal it from the inside without digging up the garden.

What Our Cape Town Customers Say

  • Geyser repair

    Excellent service! My geyser was pulling around 24 units of electricity a day and he came out and diagnosed and fixed the issue. He spent over two hours here making sure everything was sorted. Very professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely lovely to deal with. I really appreciated the time and care he took to get everything right. Highly recommend!!

  • Heat pump installation

    Trex Plumbing did an excellent job installing our heat pump. The team was professional, punctual, and their workmanship was of a very high standard. The installation was neat, efficient, and everything was explained clearly. We are extremely happy with the service and would highly recommend Trex Plumbing to anyone looking for reliable plumbing and heat pump installation. Thank you for a great job!

Questions From Tokai Homeowners

  • Quite possibly, especially in leafy suburbs like Tokai. A drain camera inspection shows whether roots or a cracked pipe are the cause, so you fix it once instead of clearing it every few months.

  • Clearing a drain with rods typically costs R1,300 to R2,200. Tougher blockages that need mechanical augering start at R2,500. You get a written quote before we start.

  • No. There's no extra travel charge for Tokai. You pay our standard R400 call-out fee, the same as anywhere we work.

  • During our working hours, usually within 1 to 2 hours.

  • When a drain needs more than rods, yes. Hydro-jetting clears roots, grease and build-up from the pipe walls. We'll tell you if it's needed before we use it.

  • Yes. Every Tokai project comes with our 1-year workmanship guarantee: if our work fails within a year, we will return and fix it for free. Parts and appliances carry the manufacturer's own warranty, and we'll help you start a manufacturer claim if one is needed.
