Stop Tree Roots without digging
Tree roots are naturally drawn to the moisture and nutrients in your sewer lines, creating frustrating blockages and potential pipe damage. Traditional solutions often involve extensive digging, disrupting your Perth property and potentially harming your valuable trees. With our specialized RootX treatment, we:
- Clear existing root intrusions without excavation
- Protect pipes without damaging your trees
- Apply targeted treatment through existing access points
- Save your garden landscape from unnecessary disruption
- Prevent roots from returning for up to 12 months
Perth homeowners love our non-invasive approach that respects both their property and their trees while effectively solving root problems.

How RootX eliminates pipe-invading Roots
RootX works through a powerful but environmentally responsible foaming action that delivers active ingredients directly to the problem areas in your pipes. When professionally applied, RootX:
- Creates a thick foam that rises to completely coat pipe walls
- Kills roots on contact through its specialized formula
- Leaves a residual barrier that prevents new root growth
- Works in pipes from 5cm to 60cm in diameter
- Begins working immediately with visible results in hours
The science behind RootX is impressive - it targets only the root tissue that has invaded your pipes without systemically affecting your trees or shrubs. This makes it perfect for Perth properties where preserving tree health alongside pipe functionality is essential.
The advantages of chemical Root Control
While mechanical cutting (like hydro jetting or root cutting machines) can provide temporary relief, these methods often stimulate aggressive regrowth as the tree responds to the "pruning" effect. Many Perth homeowners find themselves caught in a costly cycle of repeated treatments.
Chemical root control with RootX offers significant advantages:
- Stops the regrowth cycle - Unlike cutting, which stimulates new growth, RootX prevents roots from returning
- More complete coverage - Foam reaches cracks and joints that mechanical methods miss
- Less frequent treatments - Typically needed only once per year rather than multiple mechanical interventions
- Gentler on aging pipes - No risk of damage from mechanical equipment
- Cost-effective long-term - Fewer service calls and prevents escalating damage
Our Perth customers particularly appreciate how RootX breaks the frustrating cycle of recurring blockages that are common with Perth's fast-growing tree species and year-round growing conditions.
Our professional RootX application process
At No Probs Plumbing, we've refined our RootX application process to ensure maximum effectiveness for Perth homes:
- Comprehensive inspection - We use CCTV cameras to identify the location and severity of root intrusions
- Preparation - Light hydro jetting may be performed to remove solid waste buildup (while leaving roots intact for treatment)
- Precise mixing - RootX is expertly mixed on-site according to your specific pipe conditions
- Targeted application - Using specialized equipment, we deliver the RootX foam precisely where needed
- Verification - We confirm complete coverage through follow-up inspection
- Documentation - You'll receive a detailed report showing before and after conditions
Our trained technicians understand the unique challenges of Perth's drainage systems and will tailor the application to your specific situation, ensuring optimal results.
When to consider RootX treatment
RootX is ideal in several situations common to Perth properties:
- When you experience recurring drain blockages, particularly in autumn and spring
- After root cutting or hydro jetting to prevent aggressive regrowth
- If you have mature trees within 10 meters of your sewer lines
- When CCTV inspection reveals early signs of root intrusion
- As preventative maintenance for properties with Jacaranda, Fig, or Eucalyptus trees nearby
- If you notice slow drainage that worsens during rainy periods
- After pipe repairs to protect vulnerable new joints
The best time for application in Perth is typically during the drier months when water levels in pipes are lower, allowing for better adhesion of the product to pipe walls.
Long-term protection for your pipes
Investing in regular RootX treatments provides substantial long-term benefits for Perth homeowners:
- Extended pipe lifespan - Preventing root damage can add years to your drainage system
- Consistent water flow - Maintain optimal drainage performance year-round
- Reduced emergency callouts - Avoid those inconvenient and costly midnight plumbing emergencies
- Protection for your whole property - Prevent sewage backups that can damage flooring, walls, and landscaping
- Preserve tree health - Maintain your valuable trees without compromise
- Peace of mind - Know your drainage system is protected throughout the seasons
Many of our Perth customers incorporate annual RootX treatments into their regular home maintenance schedule, typically saving thousands in emergency repairs and premature pipe replacement costs.
