Root Clogged Sewer Pipes

What To Look For
1. The drain lines are gurgling , especially when you drain your washing machine water.
2. The toilets and sinks are slower than normal to drain.
3. The floor drain has unpleasant odors or water backing up. 

Roots Love Pipes
Trees and shrubbery seek water anywhere they can find it during spring with the onset of foliage growth. One of the prime supplies of water is our sewer systems. Roots only need a hairline crack to gain access into your drain lines.
Once inside the drain lines, the roots can grow quickly, exerting enough force to clog, damage or destroy your pipes.
Manual removal can provide immediate relief, but is only effective on the bottom half of the sewer pipe. And just like pruning a shrub or tree, the roots will come back bigger and stronger unless treated.

RootX Can Help
Until recently, there were no safe biological agents that could be used to remove the tree roots on the top side of the pipe. RootX offers homeowners a solution to root problems.
When RootX is added to your sewer system it becomes a sticky foam. The foam fills the entire pipe killing and speeding the decay of the roots. RootX-continues working by preventing the regrowth of roots for up to one year. It is cost-effective and saves homeowners money on costly sewer line repairs. Annual treatment is the most effective way of keeping roots under control.
