One of the services that Tom Plumb provides is the licensed application of Sanafoam Vaporooter. Vaporooter pioneered the chemical root control industry over 40 years ago to extend the useful life of sewer systems while eliminating maintenance costs. Vaporooter foam is a unique combination of herbicides that is placed in sewer lines to kill roots on contact and inhibit future root growth. Only roots within the pipe and a very short distance outside the pipe are affected; trees and shrubs immediately above ground are not harmed. Vaporooter is composed of:
A herbicide which penetrates root cell walls and then bursts them; causing the root to die and decay.
A root growth inhibitor that attaches to surface-active organic material to inhibit further root cell division and growth with a twelve month warranty
A surfactant blend that strips away grease and slime from the roots permitting deep penetration into the root mass.
A foaming agent which provides a durable, fine-textured “vehicle” to carry Vaporooter into maximum contact with roots and pipe surfaces through professional application.
