RootX

RootX is a non-systemic, patented chemical root control formula. This means it only kills the roots with which it comes in contact, not the tree or plant itself. The active ingredient, Dichlobenil will not only kill roots, but will also prevent their re-growth for up to one year. RootX is the #1 environmentally safe, easy to use, root killer on the market today.

How Does It Work

RootX is packaged as two dry powder components in one container. When these components come in contact with water they create a sticky foam. This foam fills the entire pipe, coating the roots and pipeline surfaces with the RootX formula.

RootX leaves a residue above the water line that continues to kill roots and inhibits new growth for up to 12 months.

The active ingredient in RootX, Dichlobenil, is applied at concentrations of .55% of 5500 parts per million. This is 55 times the minimum level needed to kill root tissue exposed to Dichlobenil from 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Safe and Easy Application

RootX is packaged in convenient 2 and 4-pound jars. Application is made by a Plumber-Rooter Technician. The RootX formula is poured into a toilet or outside sewer clean out and followed with 3 to 5 gallons of water. RootX is safe to use when applied in accordance with the directions for use by a Plumber-Rooter Technician.

Save Money

RootX can be used with or without mechanical root cutting equipment. Some situations such as a root blockage will require mechanical removal of roots. Mechanical removal is an excellent short term solution. However, if the roots are cut and left untreated (just like pruning a tree or a bush), they will come back bigger and stronger. This process will eventually destroy a sewer line and require the line to be relined or dug up and replaced. The replacement of a sewer line would cost much more than an annual treatment with RootX. Ask Plumber-Rooter about an annual maintenance program with RootX.

Environmentally Safe

RootX does not contain Copper Sulfate or Metham Sodium which are both harmful to the environment and to bacteria/fungi, which normally decompose dead roots. These two chemicals also have harmful effects on wastewater treatment plant biology.

RootX's patented combination of chemicals helps promote and speed up the natural decomposition of the dead roots. This unique ability to perform both the root killing and removal function while being environmentally safe is exclusive to RootX.

RootX also contains Sulfamic Acid which is widely used to feed and preserve wastewater treatment plant biology for transport to laboratories. This demonstrates RootX's friendliness to wastewater treatment plants.

RootX has been accepted by the EPA (#68464-1) for use in sanitary and storm lines in all 50 states. This special patented product has passed the EPA fish and wildlife test, LD50 and LC50 indicating it is safe to these species in these concentration levels.

RootX is the safe, simple and effective solution to pipeline root intrusion.

RootX is sold exclusively to Professional Plumbers and Drain Cleaners for use in residential sewer systems. RootX is available through Plumber Rooter, and is not sold in stores.

RootX Guarantee: Plumber-Rooter will warranty that any line treated with RootX will not plug or backup due to a living tree root obstruction for a period of 12 months after application. Application must be made in accordance with directions for use. If within this 12 month period a blockage occurs which is caused by live tree roots, Plumber-Rooter will replace the amount of product used to treat that line at no cost. This warranty covers the RootX product only and will not compensate for service time or labor.
