1. Site Assessment & CCTV Inspection
The first step involves inspecting your sewer with a high-resolution drain camera. This helps identify the extent of root intrusion, pipe material, and any structural issues that could affect treatment.
2. High-Pressure Jetting
Before Vaporooter can be applied, your sewer must be thoroughly cleared. A high-pressure hydro jet is used to remove all existing root masses, grease, and debris. This ensures the foam can fully coat the internal surfaces of the pipe.
3. Vaporooter Application
Next, the Vaporooter solution—a foaming mix of herbicide and root inhibitor—is pumped into the sewer line. The foam expands to fill the entire diameter of the pipe, coating all surfaces and reaching any fine root hairs that have penetrated the joints.
4. Safe, Non-Invasive, Environmentally Approved
Vaporooter is only available to licensed applicators and is completely safe for your pipes, pets, and garden. It targets roots inside the pipe without affecting surrounding trees or soil.
5. Ongoing Maintenance Planning
For optimal protection, Vaporooter should be reapplied every 12 months. This prevents roots from re-establishing and keeps your sewer flowing freely.
