| Root destroyer is a great product, assuming roots are your problem. Having had limited knowledge of your problem due to your short term habitation, you must be sure first that roots are it. Until a plumber chases a cutter down your pipe or uses a camera to inspect, roots may be suspected but not the cause. Any number of reasons including broken, sagging, plugged pipe could also be the culprit. If it turns out to be roots or you just wish to throw some money down the drain, via chemicals, remember that root destroyer takes time to work. If any water is used or flushed, more treatment is required. It is best to add at night when going to bed and avoid using any water for 8 hours or more. Also, many times basement drains are not tied to the sanitary and often to the storm sewer. If so and not a root problem, you may have other issues. Not necessary a fix but a way to prevent future flooding would be to install a backwater check valve or flood-guard like one made by General http://www.generalpipecleaners.com/specialties/floodguard.html |
