\"RootX<\/p>\n

A Necessary Addition to Mechanical Root Cutting<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Although professional mechanical root cutting will clear\u00a0pipeline blockages, roots that haven\u2019t been killed can begin to grow back\u00a0and clog your pipe again in as little as 9 months! With a RootX\u00ae<\/sup> treatment, you can ensure that all roots within your piping will be killed and any chance of new roots growing are\u00a0significantly reduced.<\/p>\n

How RootX\u00ae<\/sup> Works<\/strong><\/h3>\n

RootX\u00ae<\/sup> is a patented formula made up of two components that foam on contact with water, reaching the top of pipes where 90 percent of root growth occurs. RootX\u00ae<\/sup> sticks to the pipe walls preventing re-growth of roots for up to 12 months and giving you peace of mind.<\/p>\n

\"RootX<\/p>\n

Kill Pipeline Roots – Get Pipes Flowing<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The patented RootX\u00ae<\/sup> 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\u00ae<\/sup> herbicide can penetrate cut roots, killing them on contact. RootX\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0sticks to the pipe walls, preventing re-growth for up to 12 months. Dead roots in pipe decay over time, restoring pipes to their full capacity.<\/p>\n

Tough on Roots – Easy on Pipes<\/strong><\/h3>\n

History\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

RootX\u00ae<\/sup> was first introduced and patented as a root control formula in 1994. RootX\u00ae<\/sup> was engineered to limit the exposure issues and environmental impacts that other root control formulas were producing, and to remove pipeline roots without affecting the treatment systems at the wastewater treatment plant downstream. \u00a0RootX\u00ae<\/sup> was also engineered for fast, simple and cost-effective applications that don’t require extensive training or expensive add-on equipment.<\/p>\n

Since 1994, RootX\u00ae<\/sup> has been a simple, effective and proven solution for pipeline root control for municipalities, plumbers and homeowners.<\/p>\n
