Trees love your sewer pipe and septic leach lines of your septic tank. The closer your trees are to your pipes, the greater the chance roots will find their way in. Some trees have aggressive growth which makes them prime suspects when you discover roots are plaguing your pipes.
Poplar and willows are notorious invaders with massive root systems. Only a strong root killer is the solution for the do-it-yourselfer. Sanco Industries provides a copper sulfate based herbicide which kills the roots inside your pipes: Root Destroyer. Don’t wait until your pipes are completely blocked to avoid potential harm to the walls of your pipes.
Unfortunately, roots will find their way back in your sewer pipes over time. With routine use you can keep your sewer pipes and septic leach lines clear and flowing with Root Destroyer. Visit our Root Destroyer page for product information and ordering.
