RootX Root Killer for Septic Tanks and Drainfields<\/h1>\n\t\t\t\t\t

RootX can be used in septic tanks, in the line from the tank to the distribution box, and in drainfield lines. It kills the roots it reaches and leaves a coating that helps stop them growing back for up to 12 months. One treatment a year keeps most systems clear.<\/p>\n\t\t

Why roots end up in your septic system<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Tree roots grow toward water and nutrients, and a septic system has plenty of both. Roots find their way in through tank seams, pipe joints and the openings in drainfield pipe. Left alone, they trap solids, slow the flow and can block lines completely. Repairing or replacing a septic line or drainfield can cost thousands of dollars.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n
