RootX Foaming Root Killer

RootX - Foaming Root Killer

Why use RootX:
Mechanical root cutting is an immediate and short-term solution to relieving pipeline blockages caused by root intrusion. However, cutting roots is like pruning a tree; it stimulates even more vigorous and destructive root growth in the remaining roots. That means new root growth can fully clog your pipe again in just nine months. Treating pipes with RootX not only kills all the roots on contact, it also leaves a thin layer of the herbicide on the pipe walls to prevent roots from coming back.

How it works:
Simply pour in an outside sewer clean-out to kill roots in the entire pipe line. The patented RootX formula foams on contact with water. The foam then fills the entire pipe to reach the top where 90 percent of the roots live. Degreasing agents strip away grease and grime so the RootX herbicide can penetrate the roots, killing the root tissue on contact. RootX promotes bacterial growth to speed the decay and natural removal of roots. The foam also leaves a thin layer of the RootX herbicide on the pipe walls to prevent re-growth.
