Product Description

By entering your model number, you can make sure that this fits.

Only the roots that are within the leach line will be killed.

Questions & Answers

My tree was cut down, but the stump was left behind. Is it possible to get rid of the stump using this product?

For the purpose of stumps. Make as many one-inch holes as you can. Epson salts should be added to the container. It's possible that there's a less expensive option. At the very least, three months should be allowed to pass. You'll still need to dig out the stump and any exposed roots, no matter what method you use.

Is it safe to use on clay sewer pipes that are over 100 years old?

My house, on the other hand, is made of clay and hasn't yet caved in.

How many times do you apply this product to your septic line to kill roots?

I began by using a snake to remove roots. I've been treating them twice a year to keep them away, and they haven't returned.

Is it possible to use this for sewer as well as septic?

I used it for the sewer, whether right or wrong.

Selected User Reviews For Root Destroyer – 2lbs of Pure Copper Sulfate Crystals - Root Killer for Sewer & Pipe Lines- Stops New Growth – Safe for all Plumbing

It is extremely effective in removing root clogs
5/5

We live in an old house with clay and cast iron pipes that are prone to cracking and allowing roots to enter. When the drain in our bathroom started to clog, I used a snake to pull out a bunch of roots. The drain was still clogged after removing two feet of roots. So I decided to give root killer a shot and poured in the recommended amount while waiting. The drain remained clogged after a few days. When the drain stopped backing up, I was about to call a plumber. According to the manufacturer, once the root killer kills the roots, they form a blockage that prevents new roots from growing back. It only took a few days for the dead roots to decompose and wash down the pipe, and the drain is still working fine after 5 months.

Calling a plumber is not a good idea
5/5

Our licensed plumber wanted $2000 to dig up our lawn and replace the drain pipe; this cost less than $20 and works perfectly. Once or twice a year, we use it.

It really works! Roots in septic pipes are effectively killed with this product
5/5

I did use a camera before and after using Root Destroyer, and I was surprised at the amount of roots that were filling up the pipes, as well as the cluster of dead roots that appeared after just one treatment. I did use an auger to clear the dead roots out of the area, and the septic system is now working properly.

It will take time to see if it is effective, but it is reasonably priced and simple to use
5/5

Time will tell if this effectively prevents sewer line root problems, but it is reasonably priced and comes in a large quantity (2 pounds). Extremely simple to operate - At night, simply pour into the toilet nearest the sewer line and flush. (Do it in under a minute. ) 5 pound increments, or a quarter of the container per flush).

DON'T THROW AWAY YOUR MONEY! This, in my opinion, did not help at all
3/5

I was able to get it done quickly, and it weighed in at 2 pounds. I had the pipes cleaned prior to use so I'd be ahead of the game, and now the commode is gurgling again after just over a month. I followed the instructions exactly, but the water is still backing up. It only took a month for it to return. As a result, I can't claim that it killed anything: (br>br>(br>br>(br>br>(br>br>(br>br>(b Both bottles were used according to the directions, and this is what I found when I awoke this morning: (br>DO NOT THROW YOUR MONEY AWAY!

It's quite effective
5/5

This summer, my sewer started backing up on me, so I used your product and haven't had a problem since. I just placed another order because I wanted to have some on hand for when the roots begin to grow again in the spring.

Product is clearly labeled, and customer service is excellent! a quick delivery Product with clear instructions on how to use it and what not to do with it
5/5

We bought it to get rid of the roots in our leech bed. We didn't want to lose a beautiful 4 foot diameter sugar maple tree or other plantings in our 1850 brick farmhouse, so we didn't use a product that killed roots. We're hoping everything goes well with this product because it seemed to be the most reliable.
