FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is root control? The ability to reduce the frequency and size of root intrusions in sewer pipes.
Why should I use chemical root control? When a root is injured, it produces a hormone that speeds up and thickens regrowth. This means that root masses not only grow back, they grow back quicker and heavier each time you cut them. Chemical root control can eliminate the roots without killing the tree while preventing regrowth. This method is not only longer lasting but is the cheapest way to treat and prevent root problems in the future. Chemical root control is the only way to get predictable results.
Will chemical treatments kill my trees? No. We use a contact pesticide which only kills the part of the root it touches and a short distance beyond that. This allows us to control root growth in and around the sewer pipe. The formula is non-selective and non-systemic, meaning it will kill any type of root it touches without killing the tree.
Do you provide a guarantee? Yes. DRC guarantees the sewer line will not have a backup due to live tree roots for 12 months. After the first couple of years of treatments, when the roots are gone and under control warranties can be extended to 18-24 months.
Should I get a sewer inspection before buying a home? Yes. This is one of the most important inspections a buyer of older homes should conduct. Discovering a bad sewage line should be done before the home is purchased, not after. The cost associated with sewer damage can cost you from 3,000.00-25,000.00.
