This product sinks so limited applications
Would Not RecommendThis product does kill roots however if you like myself and many others have roots coming from above your backup this product flushes under them because the product sinks in water, be mindful that if you have roots from the top of the pipe this will not work, a snake or hydrojet option is best for temporary fixes until you can get the damaged pipe(s) replaced

BEST
Would RecommendIt's the best, I don't buy any similar product
Tree Root Killer.
This product was referred to me by a local plumber. I have not used it yet. I won't know the results of its use for several months or maybe even a couple of years. The product will be easy to apply to my septic system.
