RootX is a famous product, used by professionals worldwide to deal with the problems caused by tree roots. There’s a good reason why it’s popular with professionals; it’s simply the most effective product on the market. It’s also great for dealing with the most severe of issues. 

RootX Basics

RootX is used to kill tree roots which have invaded or damaged pipes. This is tricky work as experts in tree root problems will tell you that guesswork is not an option. Tree roots can effectively obliterate pipes, doing untold damage to plumbing systems and also creating hazards in the ground around buildings. 

In Australia, our massive gum trees and other natives often have huge, invasive root systems. These roots are adapted to find water anywhere near them and if a pipe happens to be nearby, it’s likely to get roots growing towards it. The usual story is that the tree roots break into the pipe and trash the plumbing. 

The sheer amount of damage a single, large tree root can do is unbelievable. No type of pipe is immune and tree roots can also under cut foundations, causing more damage. In most cases, the first thing a homeowner knows about the problem is when the pipes start regurgitating water and making gurgling sounds caused by air in the system. 

Tree roots can also do huge damage to sewers, doing pretty much the same sort of damage but on a much larger scale.  RootX is the quick, simple, and above all, reliable, option. 

The 10 Reasons

The 10 reasons for using RootX are pretty compelling:

1.    It’s proven to be safe to use unlike some other products, which are considered potentially very hazardous.
2.    It’s highly effective in Australian conditions against huge tree root problems.
3.    RootX kills tree roots directly through contact
4.    RootX inhibits regrowth, another major issue with Australian tree roots.
5.    RootX is highly penetrant, removing grit from pipes to attack roots.
6.    RootX is very fast acting, achieving results in 30 minutes.
7.    It’s very easy to apply anywhere, saving time and labour costs.
8.    It’s safe to use on septic systems.
9.    RootX application is highly efficient, safe, simple and straightforward.
10.    The product is supplied ready to use, without other preparations.

You can see why plumbers and sewer maintenance experts would go for a product which does everything and can be applied easily anywhere. In some of the semi-impossible situations that tree roots can cause, those are major pluses. 
The other major positive is the safety aspect.  Some materials used to kill tree roots are also likely to damage anything else with which they come in contact. If you’re running a plumbing business, you don’t want to be worrying about your people handling anything, let alone using toxic materials. People working on pipes have enough safety issues without added “attractions” in the form of toxic chemicals. RootX is the benchmark tree root solution, on that basis alone.

RootX is an industry benchmark product for killing tree roots in Australia. It’s used by the experts as being the easiest, safest and most cost-efficient option. The “safety factor” is a major issue and we’re going to give you some insights as to why it’s so important.

There aren’t many products in the plumbing trade which can be called a type of “risk management”. RootX is the exception. The safety issues in dealing with tree root problems are multiple and RootX manages them all seamlessly.

The Safety Issues, Explained

Tree root management is a virtual science in Australia. Our monster gum trees and other natives will exploit any trace of water they can find in the ground. That can mean trouble when a big root system invades your plumbing or drains.

Australian trees are experts at playing Hide and Seek with plumbers and drainage technicians. They’re very good at hiding the roots that cause the problems and excellent at seeking water sources. Anyone who’s ever tried to deal with tree roots in pipes will tell you these trees are downright sneaky.

They’ll choose the most difficult, inaccessible spot to hit a pipe or a drain. They’ll manage to grow under some part of the house where you can’t dig or get easy direct access to the pipe. This can make the work of tree root removal very difficult and sometimes quite dangerous, in more ways than one.

The safety issues are:

• Safely eliminating the roots from the system. The safety factor includes making sure the tree roots are removed and no longer active in and around the pipe system. You need a good chemical agent which will definitely eradicate tree roots and tree root debris. If this job isn’t done properly, the pipes won’t be safe from future issues.

• Keeping people safe by using safe materials, like RootX. Some alternative chemicals pose real risks to people, as well as tree roots. That’s not a good look when you’re working in a confined space in close proximity to those chemicals.

• Protecting the bottom line. For people in the plumbing business, inefficiency in doing the job isn’t an option. When the job is removing tree roots, the risk is that if those roots aren’t properly removed, you’ve got significant added costs and an understandably annoyed client to deal with. You want a product than can be trusted to do the job and do it well. Hence the popularity of RootX in Australia.

Tree roots invading pipes and drains are a common phenomenon in Australia. It says a lot for RootX that it’s so widely accepted as the right product for this work.
