A few different things can be the cause of a septic backup. The main reason is organic matter that has built up in a septic tank over time and forms a clog. This is a common problem and in most cases is probably attended to before it becomes a problem. Other reason for septic backups might not be so clear and may be overlooked when maintaining a septic tank. Tree roots growing into septic lines are a serious problem that will cause serious backups if not taken care of.
Root Destroyer is composed of copper sulfate crystals that will kill invasive septic and sewer pipe roots. Getting rid of these roots will guarantee they do not clog septic lines leading to a messy and costly back up. The best part about Root Destroyer is that it gets rid of the invasive roots without causing harm to any other part of the tree. Root Destroyer should be used at the rate of 2 lbs. in an active 300 gallon septic tank 2 times a year to ensure no roots become a problem.
