Seriously... Incredible.

[@mike2652]

Wow, never seen roots do that to a wall. Beautiful and destructive at the same time.

[@CallieMasters5000]

Looks like expensive wallpaper.

[@mike2652]

Yeah, true! If you wanted that type of design on your walls, you’d have to pay quite a bit of money for it.

Holy crap Batman, it’s a real tree house!!😱

[@cfryback]

I must say that is the most impressive/invasive root system ever! Fig tree - remind me not to grow one. Good job getting to the root of the issue! I do like the comment "oh, we just rent..." I hate to be the owner stuck with this issue!!

[@CallieMasters5000]

I've seen this horror movie before. The roots on the wall is nature's way of saying GET OUT!!!! This ain't gonna end well! 😳

[@NicoliRavioli117]

Yeah no joke. That’s precisely what I thought when I saw those roots on the wall. That’s some seriously creepy stuff. Like nature wants to REALLY take back that land.

Tree roots in the wall? That’s unbelievable but seeing is believing. Great job Drain Addict for pointing that out and letting us see that.

[@andrewh5107]

I agree with the comments here. I've never seen roots get into walls. That is the most aggressive tree I've ever seen. Looks very pretty in the wall but it's a shame they are destroying the house. Good work guys and thank you for sharing. Amazing!

[@chrisgallant9889]

That was amazing to see . Tree roots taking over that persons house. It makes for a nice design on the walls. Usual suspects in the drains. Tree roots, wipes, poop.

[@007danc]

In the USA we have "Weeping willow " trees they attack plumbing pipes and in AUS your Trees eat pipes, houses and mabe small animals. Great job thanks.....dan

[@jaykneegarner2479]

danc007 Try Cottonwood trees on for size! They get big fast and will clog a leach field real fast! Add to it the trees propensity for sudden limb failure and it’s a mess of a tree! Will never forget the sound of a 1 1/2’-2’ diameter by 40’ long limb suddenly failing on a neighbors tree! Crushed his brand new just installed the day before chain link fence! Missed the newish car though.

[@stevenshafferii6862]

How about bamboo shoots growing strait throught the pipes lmfao

[@ddon1797]

Japanese knotweed can grow up to 10cm per day, and because of this rapacious growth, it has been known to cause damage to building structures and substructures by targeting weak points, such as cracks in masonry, and attempting to grow through them. (Got that from google) its difficult to get a mortgage on a house with it growing nearby and its difficult to get rid of. You have to kill it all at the same time or you're forever chasing it lol

[@romeoslover817]

Most trees and shrubs will do this when the roots are long enough to reach the pipes. Plant roots are designed to follow water, where it is located. Even the tiniest hole or loose pipe joint will attract them. My family had junipers ( evergreen shrubs) that blocked us up occasionally. CalledRooter rooter or Rapid Rooter every so often.

[@romeoslover817]

Roots on the wall on the inside of the house are cool looking. They look like textured wallpaper that many for which people would pay a lot of money. It is too bad that they are so destructive.

[@rosecamarillo]

WoW! What a video! This one to me is best of all. Those roots in that bedroom are creepy! I’ve never seen that before ! Thanks for doing a great job!

[@CallMeAdam2023]

WOW That is a shame what those tree roots are doing to that home! I have never seen them come in across a wall before

Great job as usual. Must be the nature of Aussy where certain types of plants go gangbusters seeking out moisture. Have a similar issue in NZ with my rain-water tank house supply (no mains). Tank built of concrete but certain tree the ex planted kept rooting through, making for drain down and clean out until i gave darn tree a haircut at ground level.

[@davidbates7429]

DA, great job as usual. I watched a septic system go in today on a house here in the Philippines. My first. They hand dug a 4x4x4 hole, put some rock and sand in bottom then just set concrete blocks in with holes banged in the sides. No mortar. Than a wood frame with 3 inches concrete for a top. I shook my head as they said they're all done like this.

[@davidbates7429]

Thankfully not my house.

[@oldbatwit5102]

We have a tree in Britain, often grown as a bush, called Buddleia. It 's a beauty and great for wildlife but.... it loves lime so much that it will grow in and through cement, plaster and concrete without the need of any soil. You can often spot it growing straight out of the side of a building 10 metres from the ground.

[@jcramond73]

This is why you never plant gum trees near homes or drains!

[@keithsawyer6356]

I think that's more like "should never" but don't forget that the neighbour plants his trees on the other side of his house so they get your drains rather than his.

[@MatindianGirl06]

That is absolutely amazing, this beautiful tree has become part of the house structure....amazing.

[@jimrustle643]

Had a huge tree at my house for decades since I was young. Tree literally grew to 40 - 50 feet high. Base was easily 4 feet wide. Shaded my house and neighboring houses who absolutely loved it. Started to cause foundation cracks and plumbing problems. Killed the tree. Roots died after several years, still have to fix foundation but plumbing problems are gone. Going to rebuild house in a few years. This time I'll be using palm trees for shade instead.

[@jimrustle643]

@PvtMadnage - Bro. Matthew not in my case. The most it did was crack the foundation a bit and cause plumbing problems. I can fix the foundation by mud jacking and breaking out sections to pour new ones. I got lucky and never had an invasion of roots like this house.

[@quandraadams7583]

How did you "kill the tree"? Cut it down? Lol I'm having The same problems and wondering what my options are

There are major cracks up to the ceiling. The house will be condemned. No way it's still safe to live in. Sad and scary.

1. Cut the tree down. 2. Cut a groove in the stump with a chain saw. 3. Pour 1-2 pints of Remedy Ultra Herbicide in the fresh cut groove. 4. The Remedy will kill the roots, the secret is to pour the Remedy in the fresh cut groove (about 1 inch deep, 16-18 inches long, or cut an X in the stump 12 inches by 12 inches).

I don't understand... If that tree is destroying their house, why don't they get rid of it?????

[@yeahnah7220]

Economics is my first thought. Id suspect that the tree would be council owned so I've no idea how an owner would let it get to that stage. Irrespective of what if any deal the owner and council may or may not have, the house is too far gone now. Obviously going to rent it out till its condemned and then sell it to a developer who will knock it down and smash some townhouses up on the land.

[@freechagosislandjohnpilger]

thats scary stuff, like a horror movie, that house is rooted

[@romeoslover817]

When planting trees or buying or building a house, consider where the trees and shrubs will be or are when making your plans. cutting down the tree is a big bummer for the tree, but you can see what roots are capable to destroy. You can the tree or place the differently if you are having it built.

One good thing was she was able to dig the basement out down another four feet!!!

[@helgelarsen4850]

Wow, I didn't recon I would be stuck to the computer waching video after video of drains beeing jetted. somehow facinating... There is a few things I'm wondering about: How much hose do you have on the jetting reel? And have you ever used all of the jetting hose inside the pipe? Do you actually need so much hose on the reel? I see it's causing you some extra work/irritation when the hose get unwinded and then stuck on the side of the reel. I saw that you used all of the thin one in yesterdays vid, but i recon that one is only 10 meters?
