The best thing is to rent a root cutter at your local tool rental. There is some professional chemicals one can buy that will retard the growth, but it is my opinion, a cup of rock salt flushed down the commode a few times a year will do the same.

Howdy all, I just unclogged the sewer line in which I have found tree roots. Several years ago I installed an outside cleanout, since the house is on a slab. Is there anything I can put in the line which will stop these roots? Will any chemicals work? Frank [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
