Hi Keith,
While it is possible, it will take some ingenuity. What you really want is a
stable pivot point in the middle of your present hole assuming it is located
where you want it and a means to trammel the router around that point on a 2
inch radius from the pivot point to the outside edge o
Thanks everyone, for the different options. The sewer line is almost 60
years old, the old crock type. I have a friend coming to give me a bid on
replacing the sewer line between the cleanouts. Replacing the crock with
PVC. we will see what happens...
Thanks again for the feedback...

Hi,
I cut a hole In a box with a large hole saw. It is not big enough and I
want to make it bigger. The wood is half inch plywood. The hole is a
2.5 inch hole and I need to make it 4.
I have used the router to take edges off of projects but never to cut
like this. Is it possible? I don't hav
They stopped using it a while ago but there is plenty to be found in older
houses.
As far as chemicals, that would also depend on if you are on a septic system or
not.

This doesn't get rid of roots. It is for keeping the cultures alive.

I believe root out feeds the roots.

also if you have willow rees nearby , even in a neighbors yard. good
luck as they will come back year after year. they, the roots can find
the smallest holes to penetrate. A neighbor across the road had a
willow taken down and a new sewer line installed all the way to the
street. three yea
I don't know about use on a septic system but I used to use a pound of
copper sulfate, once or twice a year. It was a fairly common practice in
the town I lived in at the time.
Rock salt would probably help some but the copper sulfate caused the roots
to srivel and break off.

Hi I would not advice to use chemicals, it interfere with the waste disposal
process, the only thing that you can do, is to dig along the pipe line, and
chop as much of the roots away.

You could periodically flush herbicide down the toilet but that would
probably kill one or more trees you want to keep.

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?
