Professional jetting nozzles for unclogging pipes with roots

Trees fill our cities and gardens, providing oxygen, shade, and helping protect the environment. But they can also cause problems in underground pipelines.

Roots seek moisture, and they often find it inside pipes. If there’s a crack or a faulty joint, they can grow into the pipe, clogging it and blocking its function. Sometimes, they even break the pipe and cause water leaks.

Some trees with particularly aggressive roots include fig trees, eucalyptus, horse chestnuts, plane trees, and willows—among the most common species. Keep in mind that roots can affect pipelines located quite far away, whether from the street or patios, because of how extensively they grow.

The Solution: The Tarantula Nozzle

To remove roots from pipes, the traditional method would be to dig a trench, locate the problem, replace the pipe, and refill the trench. But this process is outdated, expensive, and messy.

For better results, a true professional needs to ensure the job is done properly. While chemical treatments are often used, they don’t harm the trees but can be ineffective when roots are too large, tangled, or numerous.

The truly effective solution is the root-cutting nozzle (Tarantula), which clears blockages cleanly and quickly. This tool is inserted into the pipes and eliminates the tangle of roots typically found inside. It can be used in pipes of various diameters and features a slow rotation to allow the jet to cut effectively, along with two lateral jets.

Thanks to its technical features, it can also clear other types of obstructions caused by various waste materials, including hardened grease buildup or lime scale. It’s excellent for tough jobs and difficult blockages—an essential tool for any serious professional.
