My drain is blocked by tree roots. Can I apply Vaporooter today?
No, you cannot have Vaporooter applied by a certified applicator today. There’s a process you have to go through to ensure the problem is fixed properly. Firstly, your blocked drain needs to be cleared and surveyed with a drain camera by a licenced Vaporooter applicator. He will cut out the tree root blockage with a drain cleaning machine. The survey will pinpoint the tree root points of entry into the pipe. The action of cutting the roots makes the tree roots “sap” to heal the wound. We wait 6-8 weeks to allow the roots time to “relax” and re-shoot into the sewer line seeking moisture and nutrients. This is the optimum time to apply Vaporooter to your pipes to prevent further tree root ingress.
