How to Kill Drain Roots Easily and Quickly

In this video I show you a product that I have started using to kill some roots in my home's main drain.

The permanent fix to this problem is to dig up the mainline piping and replace it with new ABS piping. But that is going to cost you thousands of dollars. If you have the money its worth it, but if you don't have that money or need to get a loan, just use copper sulfate to keep the weeds away.

Don't wait until your main drain is clogged to start using this product. I waited 9 months after the first use and my main drain started to clog up again.

Copper Sulfate will not unclog a main drain that is currently completely clogged. You will have to unclog your drain and then use copper sulfate as regular maintenance.

To unclog a drain, use:
-Plunger
-Drain Cleaner Liquid
-Drain Snake
-Drain Bladder
-Hydrojetter attachment to a pressure washer

What a great video this is! We have something in common besides tree roots in the sewer line, as my house was also built in 1947.
I bought my house in 1979, and about once a year I had to have a plumber snake out the sewer line to get rid of tree roots. Around 1990, the plumber who had just snaked out the sewer, suggested using Zep Root Kill at least once a year. He also said that after using it to use no water for at least 8 hours to give it time to make good contact with the roots. I always use Zep just before I leave the house for a vacation, to give it plenty of time to do its job.

Crystals and pellets only help the roots in the bottom half of the sewer. By the time the roots at the top half are long enough to get chemicals, they're long enough to stop paper and waste. Use a foaming root destroyer.

My septic guy told me today I can dissolve 1 pound of rock salt in hot water and pour it down the drain once a month to keep the roots out of my main pipe AND the septic. And it won’t hurt the septic system. Is that true?

You said you do four flushes but I'm not sure if you mean four flushes at one use or one flush every 6 months? Can you clear my confusion please?
