Pipes root killer on the job!
I initially purchased this product about six months ago at the recommendation of my plumber. I consider the cost reasonable. I had called on him to assist with a clogged toilet. Using the "snake" rooter to check and identify the problem, he pulled out tree roots that were about 3 feet long. Though this product is not meant as an end all for our problem, he suggested that a bottle applied as directed every 3-4 months would do a great job of staving off further root growth invading my plumbing....
