RootX saves time and money when it is used to treat root intrusion in your drain pipes, septic system, sewer system and storm drains.
When larger RootX applications are required, we offer RootX in 40 Pound Boxes. Each 40 pound box contains two (2), twenty pound bags of RootX. In municipal applications, each 40 lb. box will treat up to 800 feet of 8" - 18" pipe when utilizing a Foam Dispersal Unit (FDU).
RootX is the original, non-metam sodium foaming root control product in an easy-to-apply powdered formulation. The RootX formulation foams on contact with water to kill roots and inhibit growth, filling the entire pipe to reach the top where 90% of pipeline root intrusion occurs. From start to finish, most Root X applications take less than 30 minutes. Also available in Case Quantities, 2 Pound and 4 Pound containers.
Compare RootX to Other Root Control Methods
UNIQUE FOAMING ACTION
With a unique foaming action, Root X reaches the top of the pipe where 90% of the root intrusion occurs. Surfactants in the RootX formula strip away grease and grime on the roots, killing the roots on contact and prevents their regrowth.
HOW IT WORKS
RootX is packaged as two dry powder components in one container. When these components come in contact with water they create a sticky foam that fills the entire pipe, coating the roots and pipeline surfaces with the RootX formula. RootX leaves a residual above the water line that continues to kill roots and inhibits new growth for up to 12 months.
RootX is labeled for use in both sanitary and storm pipes and is not a restricted use product.
SAVE MONEY
RootX can be used with or without mechanical root cutting equipment. Mechanical root removal is an excellent short-term solution, However, if the roots are cut and left untreated (just like pruning a tree or bush), they will come back bigger and stronger. This process will eventually destroy a pipe or sewer line and require the line to be dug up and replaced. The replacement of a pipe or sewer line would cost much more than an annual treatment with RootX.
SEPTIC SYSTEMS
Many of our customers have requested that we offer a septic safe product to handle their root infiltration problems. We chose RootX. RootX is a patented foaming herbicidal formula that is registered in all 50 states. EPA registration # 68464.1. The environmentally safe formulation does not contain Copper Sulfate or Metham Sodium, which are both harmful to the environment. It enhances bacterial growth, so it's safe for septic systems, too.
Add RootX. Foaming action kills roots and inhibits regrowth. |

HOW TO APPLY ROOTX
Septic Systems:
Three different treatments work depending on where the root problems are occurring in your septic system.
1) In the tank: pour about 8 lbs. of RootX per 1000 gallons directly into the tank.
2) Lines from the house to the tank: add RootX into a cleanout or toilet at a rate of 2 pounds per 50 feet of 4” diameter pipe.
3) Leach lines: add RootX into the distribution box or directly into the lines themselves.
Other:
Small lines (8 inches or less):
Pour the RootX dry powdered formula directly from the package into the upstream manhole. Activate the root-killing foam by adding water. The foam will move down the pipe by gravity and the existing flow to coat the roots and pipe walls. To enhance this application you can place a jetter nozzle in the downstream manhole to create a vacuum and draw the foam down the pipe.
Large lines (8 to 18 inches):
Fill the FDU (Foam Dispersal Unit) with a 20 lb. bag of RootX and attach it to a jetter truck hose at the upstream manhole. Adding water from the truck creates foam; retrieving the FDU spreads the root-killing foam, coating the roots and pipe walls.
Service laterals:
By using RootX in residential service laterals, a city can be proactive while taking care of their customers cost-effectively. Using 2 and 4 lb. jars of RootX, a municipal sewer department can completely treat a service lateral by pouring the contents of a jar into a cleanout and adding water. Simpler than treating from a mainline, this method requires no costly equipment or training and takes care of root problems in service laterals before they create problems in mainlines.
Restrict water usage for 4 to 6 hours after treatment to assure full absorption of the RootX into the roots.
