Aging cast iron and clay pipes allow easy access to roots and are susceptible to cracks through natural ground shifting. This removes the need to measure and mix components; the user simply cuts the amount of putty required from the stick and kneads by hand.

Over time, ground movement and the shifting earth create holes and cracks that eventually break the clay pipes, disabling the sewer line and causing plumbing emergencies. I know you can't say exactly but ball park what would you estimate if my path is roughly 20 ft from my side to sewer? As part of the Sylmasta Pipe Repair System, AB Original is used to seal holes and cracks caused by corrosion to pipes made from steel, cast iron, copper, PVC plastic, ceramic, and many other materials.Trenchless techniques are faster, more budget-friendly and minimally invasive compared to traditional methods that require digging around the pipeline. Whilst the epoxy putty is curing, water pressure must remain off and so that means systems repaired using Milliput are out of operation for long periods of time. Once the tree roots penetrate the pipe – formally known as tree root ingress – they continue to grow and slowly, over time block your drain lines. However, pipe liners can only be placed on intact structures, so pipes with structural damage or collapse don’t qualify.

Pipe lining is an effective terracotta sewer pipe repair solution for most concerns, adding another 50 years to pipelines by sealing cracked sewer pipes and securing damaged joints.Will pouring RootX down the drain once a year be a long term solution or will the clay pipes eventually have other issues?
