Homeowner needs a way to clear tree roots blocking main sewer line and permanently prevent root intrusion near underground utilities without damaging adjacent electrical/internet lines.
Existing root removal methods (hydro jetting, mechanical cutting) require access that may risk hitting nearby electrical/gas lines, and chemical treatments don't provide permanent prevention. No simple DIY device exists that can cut roots from inside the pipe and then seal the pipe to prevent regrowth.
PipeRoot Eradicator
An attachable, camera-guided root-cutting blade system that feeds through existing cleanout to mechanically remove roots from inside the pipe, followed by a slow-release root-killing foam sealant that cures into a smooth liner to deter regrowth. It uses a locator sensor to avoid nearby utilities and includes a permanent root-barrier coating.
- Camera-guided remote-controlled cutting head with locator sensor for safe operation near utilities
- Rotating stainless steel blade assembly that grinds roots into small particles
- Built-in foam applicator that deposits root-killing sealant after cutting
- Permanent flexible liner coating that prevents root re-entry
- Fits standard 4-inch sewer lines, operates from cleanout
