Saved me thousands!

Would Recommend

I was told that my whole drain field needed replaced bc of roots that were completely blocking it. They wanted me to remove several trees before they would replace it. I did some research and found this amazing product. Two and a half years later, I was told by a different company that whatever I did was working bc my system is doing much better. I alternate using this to kill the roots and another product to boost the enzymes.

Great product

I've been using this product for many years. I use it every six months religiously. My previous house I had multiple drain issues from roots. When I sold the house after about 10 years from the last plug drain. They scope the drain and found no roof.
