    A PVC soil line never has internal root problems.

    Working on it. I've been slowly cutting down the tree that I believe is the culprit. It will be gone in the spring.

    Thanks for the link but it looks like I can't purchase it. Looks like they market it as a yearly maintenance thru rooter companies

    I rented a rodder at home depot and did it myself. Ran it thru 3 or 4 times until it came back empty and then flushed it out with a hose

    Use copper sulfate
    Used to be k19 root killer

    IMMEDIATELY after using the root cutting blades.

    Works best when freshly cut

    Then use it routinely

    Hey Rooter guys

    What would be the best solution to use to maintain keeping roots out of the drain? Copper sulfate or something else? Rodded out the 4" cast pipe in June. Got a crapload (pun intended) of roots out. It's blocking up again. This is at our summer home and not sure if the lack of using the plumbing has anything to do with it or the unusually dry summer combined with sandy dirt. It's clogged up again. As far as I know, it's 4" cast until it meets with pvc the city installed maybe 10 years ago.
    Thanks
