I hope this product will help.

Would Recommend

I have used this product before and hope that it helps kill the roots from a 70 year old tree possibly slowing the blockage of my old drain lines that are beginning to block release of my septic lines.

Root kill

Would Recommend

Keeps the sewer drain open. In the past the sewer pipes have had rootballs clogging them and it was expensive to fix. Root Kill solved the problem.
