How is chemical root control with RootX different from better than mechanical cutting?
Treating pipes with RootX takes less time than mechanical cutting, and the results last longer. Your maintenance crews can treat a 400-foot mainline in 30 minutes or less using the jetter trucks you already have. Mechanical root cutting leaves some roots behind in the pipe. Cutting roots is also like pruning a tree; it stimulates vigorous re-growth in the remaining roots. That means new root growth can fully clog your pipe again in just nine months. Whats more the cycle of cutting roots, re-growth and cutting again will eventually destroy the structural integrity of the pipe. RootX kills roots on contact; the dead roots decay over time and are carried out with the flow of the pipe, restoring the pipe to its full capacity. RootX also leaves a barrier on the pipe walls to prevent future root growth. Once youve put your pipelines on a maintenance program with annual RootX treatments, you should be able to eliminate mechanical root cutting in most cases.
