RootX

RootX, based in Salem, Oregon, is a specialty chemical manufacturer focused on root and grease control for sewer lines, septic systems, and drain infrastructure. With over 30 years of proven field performance, the company serves four core markets: municipalities deploying in-house crews, licensed plumbers, property managers, and homeowners. Its flagship product, RootX, is a patented foaming root killer that eliminates roots on contact in sewer pipes and septic lines and inhibits regrowth for up to 12 months per application without damaging pipe walls. The foam-based delivery system ensures the active ingredient coats the entire pipe interior above the waterline. Its companion product, Grease-X, targets fats, oils, and grease (FOG) accumulation using a non-caustic, non-polluting formula that employs natural microorganisms to break down organic blockages in drains, sewer lines, and septic systems. A variant, Grease-X Biozyme, is available for residential purchase. RootX also operates an Authorized Dealer Program for commercial distribution partners. The company is a NASSCO member and its products have been validated through long-term municipal case studies, including the city of North Bend, Oregon, which has used RootX for two decades in its sewer maintenance program.
