Hi all,
I got some Rootx to try (tree roots in our sewer line, been having it augured the last few years). Our plumber will come to do the application, but he's not familiar with using the product.
On the website, they have a video where you pour the (powder) down an outside vertical cleanout, but our cleanout is in our basement, about 3 feet from the floor, so it's horiztontal. The Rootx rep mentioned it would be best if we could get the product a ways into the cleanout, perhaps via a pvc pipe or the like.
We have 4 lbs. of powder to get in there -- has anyone done this, or does anyone have any ideas about getting the stuff in the there? My only thought is a pvc pipe, get the powder in there, & push through with a smaller size pvc.
You can also apply via the toilet, but they say the cleanout is best.
Thanks for any ideas!
