Thanks...I will use your method a few times a year.

No septic to be concerned with.

I know when the blockage is starting because the basement toilet
gurgles and bubbles when an upstairs toilet is flushed. As it gets
progressively worse, you don't want to be sitting on the basement
toilet when an upstairs toilet is flushed!

I know it's really bad (and time to snake ASAP) when even taking a
shower causes the basement toilet to boil.

You sir, are the salt of the earth! ;-)

Let us know how that salt works out.
And your recipe.
I don't have a root problem now as far as I know, but I think about it
since I had roots in sewer line of my last house.
Think about it enough that I had a big maple near my sewer line cut
down. Don't miss the tree, as it was dumping bushels of leaves into
my gutters too. Got plenty of trees elsewhere.
Be nice to get before and after camera recordings of the roots, but
they're about $300 a pop.
Guess you'll find out how it works from the gurglings.
