Plumbing Maintenance Must Have
Would RecommendLast year a tree root blocked one of our underground pipes. This ultimately lead to a gray water backup in our kitchen. Unfortunately that section of the pipe had to be replaced. Our plumber recommended we purchase this product to prevent any issues moving forward. This product is very easy to use. It is now part of our seasonal home maintenance.

Root Kill for Septic System
Would RecommendI liked that I did not have to stop the water flow to use this product. After 1 week, it is appearing to work. We are still waiting to see if it improves everything after 4 weeks like the bottle said.

Recommended by my Aerobic service company
Would RecommendI have used this product several times. After the first application, the roots in my Aerobic system were gone. I will continue to use it, to help from getting new root growth.
