try some Atrazine, that stuff will kill anything, i do alot of "side" work with leach and drain fields, its pretty easy big money.

atrazine won't kill roots though. I like the rock salt idea. it will kill them then do something to get rid of them.

I have replaced a shit ton of sewer line because of tree roots.......my backhoe stayed very busy and made me alot of money on this...........................be smart and replace the lines now.....................what is yer old line???? please dont tell me orangeburg

Is that stuff driveway safe?
 

Run off isn't gonna kill anything? My driveway really needs a bleaching.

well got a root cutting machine out there and a camera.... after an hour he could not get through the 1 1/2 round root..

I fugured if there was a root in there that big and I did get it out It would just grow back or be a big hole so I had them get the permits and start digging it up yesterday..

replacing it from the sidewalk to the middle of the street.. thing that sucks is the city required clay to go back in.. No ABS in the public street!!! only way around it is we talked the city inspector into allowing us to put 1 1/2 sack slurry around the new pipe for 1 foot on 4 sides.. I know the tree roots woun't get through that.. then we have to do native back up to the top with 95% compaction.

Inspection is tuesday and backfill is wednesday...

Got a pretty goo price $7500.00

Run it through your homeowners insurance Gerry! They should take care of it?

I would of Opted...
