Should I use RootX together with mechanical root cutting?
If this is the first time you’re having your pipes treated or if the pipe is completely blocked, your plumbing contractor can clear away the immediate blockage by cutting the roots first. Then he’ll use RootX to kill the remaining roots and leave a barrier on the pipe to prevent re-growth. Make sure your plumber applies RootX within one hour of cutting the roots; this ensures the remaining root structure properly absorbs the RootX herbicide. Otherwise, he’ll need to wait 6-8 weeks before using RootX to allow root ends to develop.
