Roebic Laboratories, Inc. K-77 2-Pound Root Killer

by Roebic Laboratories

Product Description

From the Manufacturer

K-77 clears existing roots from pipes. Roots are destroyed at the point of entry into pipes. Re-growth is prevented because unlike root cutting machines, K-77 chemically kills roots. Once killed, the dead root "seals off" the point of entry and the root cannot re-grow. Non-corrosive and safe for all types of plumbing. Will work without harming surrounding trees, ground cover or the natural bacteria content in septic tanks and cesspools.

Product Description

Clears roots from pipes and stops new growth. Keeps lines free from clogging tree and shrub roots. Roots have a fantastic ability to seek out small openings in pipelines in search of water.

I've been using this for ten years, I was buying it at the local stores who are all out of business due to Lowe's & Home Depot. Walmart sold it for less than $9.00, they don't anymore, at least not in my area of NY. This works great, seems a lot simpler than the foam. Pour in 1/3, flush & again twice more until it's empty, leave over night, roots killed in a few days. What the heck happened to Roebics prices. $18 to $25 for a less than $10.00 product.

This product was bought in my local hardware store when it was called "ServiStar", in Brooklyn, NY. It sold for $9.99 for a 32 oz (2lb) container. The store has changed names, but the owner is the same. He is now selling a product for $20.00 in a 1 lb. container and it is a "use once only" deal. No thanks. I'll buy this product online if I have to since I can not find it locally. The product works. Plus, for this money, you get 3 uses.

This review is from: Roebic Laboratories, Inc. K-77 2-Pound Root Killer (Tools & Home Improvement)

I purchased this product from this company [easy to do online]and it arrived in about a week. Was the 2lb package of 99% Copper Sulfate granules and easy to follow the directions. Price of $20 shipped to my door was fairly reasonable. Later found out [and then purchased] from Home Depot the same chemical [made by ZEP in 2lb package] for $12 plus tax. Add in round trip travel time to the potential expense if you want. I still needed plumber to snake out the line as it was really root encroached. He suggested using this type of product every 6 months and especially in mid-fall. In my case, this 100 yr old house never had a main waste line clean out. Now it does from the outside so this will make life easier. No idea how well this chemical works; though 25 yr veteran plumber said it is a good idea.....short of replacing the waste line and cutting the trees down.
