Rooter Service

Have you recently had your underground plumbing lines taken over by tree roots? Wreaking havoc if left unchecked, with our professional rooter service at A & B Sewer & Septic Tank Service, our team helps prevent you from nasty pipe leaks and sewage spills on your property. With our special RootX Root Killing Foam Treatment, this foam product expands in your sewer line and is absorbed by the roots. Once the foam is absorbed, the roots become brittle and die off without harming the tree. This treatment, will stop the growth of the tree roots for a year.

Root Foaming with RootX

RootX is a simple, cost-effective and proven way to kill pipeline roots in sewer lines, storm pipes and septic systems.

Foaming RootX formula kills roots, keeps pipes clear

The patented RootX formula foams on contact with water. The foam fills the entire pipe to reach the top where 90 percent of the roots live. Degreasing agents strip away grease and grime so the RootX herbicide can penetrate the roots, killing the root tissue on contact. RootX promotes bacterial growth to speed the decay and natural removal of roots.


Treating pipes with RootX not only kills all the roots on contact, it also leaves a thin layer of the RootX herbicide on the pipe walls to prevent root re-growth. New root growth after treatment with RootX is much slower and less destructive to the pipe.


The first time you treat a pipe, or if it is completely blocked, it makes sense to use mechanical cutting to remove the root mass and restore pipe flow right away. However, you can kill any remaining roots in the line and stunt re-growth longer by applying RootX immediately after mechanical cutting.

It’s important to apply RootX within the first hour after cutting or wait six to eight weeks. This is because roots release a traumatic acid to cover the cut ends and protect them against further injury. If you apply RootX immediately after cutting, the herbicide can penetrate the root ends before the traumatic acid coating is complete. After six to eight weeks, the traumatic acid will have dissipated, leaving the most vulnerable part of the root—the white tender meristem growth where cells are actively dividing—exposed to the herbicide. The more root tissue you can treat with RootX, the better.
