Sanafoam Vaporooter II is the most efficient way of dealing with your live root intrusion of the drain pipe, as it destroys the live roots and delays the development of new ones for up to three years. Vaporooter foam, which contains an herbicide (Metham Sodium) and a growth inhibitor (Dichlobenil), gets introduced in the pipe. The efficacy of the product lies in the combination of ingredients – each of them being vital to a great result.
Filling the pipe with foam ensures the roots are directly treated with the herbicide. Thus, the treatment affects all live roots inside the pipe, the small openings of the crack and the near vicinity of the pipe. The small but efficient range of action, along with the low level and toxicity and the biodegradable features, prevent other plants or roots from being harmed by the Vaporooter. Actually, the herbicide is so ecological that it’s also used in the weed control of grain crops.
Plus, the foam is fully controlled by the foam maker and jetting equipment, which direct it exactly where it’s needed. The technology is so efficient that the outdated need of cutting the roots is pushed aside as a last resort. Actually, the cutting is a short-term solution which proves unproductive in the long-run, as the cut roots regrow much stronger. Vaporooter, however, provides a long lasting solution to the root intrusion problem. It kills and softens the roots, which will naturally decay in time, while slowing down the regrowth of new roots.
If the drain blockage is so advanced that root cutting is a necessary step, a period of six weeks is necessary between the cutting and the Vaporooter treatment. This way, the newly grown roots that have developed within the six-week-period are vulnerable to the herbicide treatment and will be easily treated.
As the destroyed roots decay, the openings they had created in the drain pipes close up under ground pressure, thus prolonging the life of the sewer lines. The prevention of future blockages and the maintenance of the drain system result in a considerable reduction in costs and time spent on dealing with blockages and damages of the draining lines. Also, it eliminates the high costs of emergency interventions needed when the problems of blockage and damage are not identified and prevented on time.
The sewage cleaning and maintenance is an ongoing process with Vaporooter, as its effect continues within a three year period. Also, the disintegration process of the killed roots can take up to six months after treatment. The pipe cleaning effect is not immediate, but it is enduring and very efficient.
Sanafoam Vaporooter II’s effectiveness as a drain pipe, money and time saviour has been confirmed by its widespread use throughout Australia, by over 80 authorities.
