Green GobblerFOAMING Root Killer | Kills Tree Roots in Pipes & Sewer Lines | Contains No Copper Sulfate | Safe for Pipes and Septic - 4 USES, 10LBS

It works. Dont call the plumber try this 1st in the toilet and in the cleanout or mainline!

As advertised

We were not too consistent using it, but, we are trying it again and using daily. I am hoping it works. Was very expensive for the set up by the plumber and now each time he comes it is $300 to do! Forget what the 1st. time cost but it was not cheap. It's usually every 3 month and would be very expensive to tear up the yard and install new tiles..........SO...I hope this works! Not the fault of the product if it is not used!! Sorry I have no better information.

After spending thousands of $$$ with pro after my whole house was overflowing and having an outbursts, all what we ends up is frustrations because it didnt work.Then they put a camera to check what was the cause of back up and found the cause was tree roots!!!And recommendations was to cut down the tree and remove the stump and roots and cost was over 10k😭😭😭😭We couldnt take shower , laundry and sinks and the house spells terrible because of back up!!!Then i came along this product and they were many different type but this one with rootsdestroyer caught my eyes and i decided to try it....It was fast delivered and i treated my toilets and shower pipes with half of container first night, waited for 12hrs, then i repeated the following night with the othe solutions... waited another 12hrs.The following day we started with taking shower no back up. Then the following day we did laundry four good loads and no back up ....Am happy writing this review , its a gem i recommend

I used this to treat some French drains under my patio that run out underneath my yard. Grass roots often clog these up and they are breeding grounds for mosquitos if the water is not moving through them. I figured I would give this a try and see how it does.First off, it's a basic formula of 90% rock salt with the remaining 10% being citric acid (like concentrated lemon juice), sodium lauryl sulfate (soap), and sodium bicarbonate (baking soda). All of these are household ingredients or easily purchased from a grocery store. The foaming is occurring from the reaction between the baking soda and the citric acid when hydrated with water. In other words, you can make a lot of this on your own for a lot less than this product costs.However, it also explains why this formula does not harm trees - there are no enzymes or anything, the high salt concentration will just dehydrate roots and kill them without harming the tree itself. Would it be enough to kill large roots in a pipe? I do not believe it would, but it probably would help as a protective agent to keep smaller roots from growing larger over time (as long as you use the product regularly).As for how well it worked on my drains, the foaming was minimal in the pipes and did not expand enough to fill the entire pipe, so I expect it just cleaned the bottom of the pipe of some dirt/grime buildup. Maybe it will help with mosquitos in there, but I doubt it. IF it works, I will just buy a 50lb bag of rock salt for $10 and mix in some anhydrous citric acid, baking soda, and a little bit of soap. That would be 50 treatments for $20 vs 10 treatments for $30.

This works well but, it does make me cough (and choke) when I'm using it - even when wearing a mask. I can't imagine how bad this would be without one. It does not foam - at least I don't wait around to see if it will. It does the job, but so well, it killed half of my Japanese maple. ( I suspected this was causing the root issue - now I know for sure.) In light of all this, I will continue to use this product. I'm sure it's saved me from a big plumber's bill.Update: This is the second time I've experienced this product delivered where the lid has opened and the product is everywhere. They do nothing to ensure this will not happen. As a result, UPS had to tape the bottom of the delivery box to keep the granules and fine powder from leaking out. Who knows how much was lost before they did that! I had 6 other items in the delivery and all are covered with the powder residue - including a stuffed-animal pet toy that is coated with it as well. (Dogs tend to use their mouths to play with toys - so especially not good.) I had about a cup of the granules in the bottom of the box, not to mention all over my kitchen floor and counter top.

This is a great product if you have roots growing in your pipes. This is saved us lots of money. We have nothad to call the plumber to unclog the pipes. It is easy to use. Try it , its worth the money.J. Orise

My rain drain (4" PVC) was blocked. I'm convinced the blockage was due to roots infiltrating the drain during prolonged drought conditions.I tried some root killer products from the hardware store - they didn't work.I tried a roto-router rental myself - didn't work, too many tight turns in the pipe.I hired a professional roto company using high pressure water - that didn't work either.Amazon had a deal on this product, Green Gobbler foaming root killer. I bought one. I used it 3 times over the summer (approx. once a month). Since then we had our first decent rain and I was amazed to see the rain gutter water draining with no problems.I plan to get another for some 'preventative maintenance' going forward.
