VAPOROOTER is a combination of herbicides that are placed in sewer lines as a foam for the purpose of eliminating roots and preventing further destruction of sewer pipe caused by live tree roots. Only roots within the pipe and a very short distance outside the pipe are effected. Trees and shrubs immediately above ground are not harmed.
VAPOROOTER is composed of:
- An herbicide which penetrates root cell walls, bursts them and causes the root to die and decay.
- A root growth inhibitor which attaches to surface-active organic material to inhibit further root cell division or growth for approximately three years.
- A surfactant blend which strips away grease and slime from the roots permitting penetration for the formulation into the root mass.
- A foaming agent which provides a durable, fine-textured "vehicle" to carry Vaporooter into maximum contact with all roots and pipe surfaces.
Mini-Foamer
The Mini-Foamer is designed to pump and aerate the Vaporooter solution creating a thick foam. The foam becomes similar in quality to shaving cream and is pumped into 4" and 6" sewer lines to combat root growth.
