Why dig if the trouble is tree roots?


just buy some rock salt, mix with hot water in a washtub, and let it
go down the sewer. do before going to work for the day so it can sit
in the line. it will kill the roots buit not the tree, is cheap and
effective.


Thanks. *I already have rock salt from this past winter so I'll do that.. *It
can't hurt. *But I still may end up doing the video routine one way or
another so I can see for sure what's going on.


This begs the question, if the rock salt clears up the problem (I'm
giving 2:1 odds it will), how much are you willing to spend to satisfy
your curiosity?
