RootX
Simple, safe and effective for pipe line root intrusion from trees to plants!
RootX kills roots in residential
sewer lines, storm pipes and septic systems. Root intrusion may be the single
most destructive element facing your home's waste water collection system. Left
untreated, roots will spread throughout the pipe. Material passing down the
drain gets trapped in the roots, restricting the flow or even causing a complete
blockage. Root intrusion can eventually destroy a sewer or septic system, costing thousands of dollars to repair or replace. We recommend annual RootX treatments to keep your system root free and avoid costly sewer and septic tank repairs. Ask your plumbing professional about our annual reminder program.
Restore pipe flow capacity
The patented RootX formula foams on contact with water to reach the top of the pipe where 90% of the roots are. Degreasing agents strip away grime so the RootX herbicide can penetrate the roots, killing them on contact. RootX sticks to the pipe walls, preventing re-growth for up to three years. Dead roots decay over time, restoring pipes to their full capacity.
Tough on roots; easy on pipes
RootX kills roots using the aquatic herbicide Dichlobenil. It's non-caustic, non-fumigating and non-systemic, and it contains no diquat dibromide, copper sulfate or metam sodium. RootX will not harm pipes, septic systems or above-ground vegetation.
EPA registration #68464-1
RootX is registered for use in all 50 states as well as Canada, and it's classified as a General Use product by the Environmental Protection Agency. In addition, RootX carries the signal word CAUTION, the lowest chemical hazard rating according to the ISO 3864-2 standard for hazard severity panels.
How RootX works!
RootX is a simple, cost-effective and proven way to kill pipeline roots in sewer
lines, storm pipes and septic systems.
RootX uses the aquatic herbicide
Dichlobenil. It's non-caustic, non-fumigating and non-systemic, and it contains
no diquat dibromide, copper sulfate or metam sodium. In
addition, RootX carries the signal word CAUTION, the lowest chemical hazard
rating according to the ISO 3864-2 standard for hazard severity
panels.
Foaming RootX formula kills
roots
The patented RootX formula foams on contact with water. The foam
acts as a carrying agent, lifting the herbicide to the top of the pipe where 90
percent of pipeline roots grow. Degreasing agents strip away grease and grime so
the active ingredient can penetrate the roots, killing the root tissue on
contact. RootX promotes bacterial growth to speed the decay and natural removal
of roots. The foam also leaves a thin layer of the RootX herbicide on the pipe
walls to prevent re-growth.
Enhances
mechanical root cutting
Mechanical root cutting is an immediate and
short-term solution to relieving pipeline blockages caused by root intrusion.
However, cutting roots is like pruning a tree; it stimulates even more vigorous
and destructive root growth in the remaining roots. That means new root growth
can fully clog your pipe again in just nine months.
Treating pipes with
RootX not only kills all the roots on contact, it also leaves a thin layer of
the herbicide on the pipe walls to prevent roots from coming back. New root
growth after treatment with RootX is much slower and less destructive to the
pipe.
Once you've put your pipelines on a maintenance program with annual RootX treatments, you should be able to eliminate mechanical rootcutting in most cases or greatly reduce it.
PLEASE NOTE: If this is the first time you're treating a pipe or if it is
completely blocked, it makes sense to use mechanical cutting to remove the root
mass and restore pipe flow right away. It's important to apply RootX within the first hour
after cutting roots or wait six to eight weeks. That's because roots instantly release a
traumatic acid to cover the cut ends and protect them against further injury. If
you apply RootX immediately after cutting, the herbicide can penetrate the root
ends before the traumatic acid coating is complete. After six to eight weeks,
the traumatic acid will have dissipated, leaving the most vulnerable part of the
root, the white tender meristem growth where cells are actively dividing exposed
to the herbicide. The more root tissue you can treat with RootX, the
better.
