Don,
This sounds like a good suggestion, but how would an average homeowner be
able to detect where they had a crack in their sewer line between the house
and street (or if in country septic system)

Hi All,
I have a co-worker that had to have some water lines coming in to her home
repaired because of roots growing in to the water lines. They had a friend
to tell her that if you pour a box of salt down the drain every month, this
will prevent this from happening. Has anyone ever heard of

I am assuming that you are speaking of a sewer line and not a water line.
Doing the salt thing doesn't help a lot. Copper Sulfate works

If it is the main water line coming into the house, you can only fix it.
Anything that you would dump down the drain would kill the roots in the
sewer line. You can't dump anything down the incoming water line, it
don't work like that.

Water lines and sewage are two different animals. Pouring salt down the
drain goes out the sewage pipe. If roots worked it way in the the main
water line coming into the house there would be evidence where the roots
are entering the line due to the constant water pressure.

I owned a old home that had clay orange pipe for the main sewer line. Use to
flush a cup of rock salt down the commode every so often, it did retard the
root growth, but every 4 to 5 years I would rent a power snake and root the
roots out. So the salt isn't a cure all and neither is the acid.

would enter the hole to access the moisture.
