The Root Intrusion Solution

Your home’s sewer pipes are built to handle the nasty stuff, but they are no match for tree roots.  Over time, sewer pipes can crack or joints can separate causing entry points for aggressive thirsty roots.  Once the roots get into the sewer pipe they can block the flow causing expensive nasty backups or even sewer pipe replacement.

How It Works

RootX unique foaming action means roots don’t stand a chance

The RootX product is a two part formula that comes in one innovative container. Once you add water to the RootX formula, the special ingredients create root killing foam that leaves coating on the roots and pipe walls which not only kills the roots but also stops their re-growth for a period of time. Unlike other products, RootX reaches the top of the pipe where 90% of the root intrusion occurs.

Protect Your Home And Save Money 

If roots are allowed to fully grow into a pipe, it can require mechanical cutting to remove them.  Utilizing only mechanical removal of roots can be expensive, hard on your pipes and encourages aggressive root growth.  (Think of pruning a tree or a bush)  By utilizing an annual RootX maintenance program through your plumber, you will save money and be able to flush your toilet with confidence.

Safe For Your Pipes And Easy On The Environment 

RootX is effective and accepted for use by the EPA 

The RootX formula has been killing roots for 20+ years.   The active ingredient in RootX is the aquatic herbicide Dichlobenil which is used to control weed growth in residential flower beds and aquatic environments.  The RootX formula also contains surfactants and degreasing agents that strip away the grime and grease on roots allowing the Dichlobenil to penetrate the root cells.

Classified as a General Use Product by the EPA, as opposed to Restricted use, RootX can be used in both sanitary and storm pipe without adversely affecting the environment or the people who apply it.
