Tree roots in sewer pipes - Omaha NE Rental

[Max Fleissner]

Hi Everyone.  I have a duplex here in Omaha that appears to have some root growth in the sewage piping, which is causing a reoccuring clogging issue.  Does anyone have any experience in treating their pipes with a root killer?  Root Kill, RootX, ZEP, or any other product?  Appreciate any feedback and advice!

Thank you,

Max

Yes. 

I use Foaming-Root-Killer. I drop it off yearly and ask the tenants to poor it down the commode. I started using it when I lived in the home after having a plumber recommend it. I was getting it snaked every 3 to 5 months. Its been 4 years with no issues.
