There is currently a plague attacking sanitary sewers: Fats, Roots, Oils and Grease — or FROG. The FROG gets into the sanitary sewer pipe and starts to grow with the roots feeding off the moisture and nutrients that run through the pipe, and the fats, grease and oils solidifying and building up in the pipe. The FROG growth reduces the diameter and flow of the pipe, eventually causing sanitary sewer overflows into houses, streets and public landscapes.

The RootX company offers tools to get the FROG out of the pipe and restore pipe flow capacity. To get rid of the roots and eliminate new growth, you can use the RootX root control product, which breaks down the root cells, reducing their aggressive growth and eventually killing them. The RootX company also offers Grease-X products which break down grease and keep the grease from coagulating further down the pipe.  

RootX was founded in 1994 and is located in Salem, Oregon. RootX is the manufacturer and distributor of the RootX root control products and Grease-X grease control products for sewer lines. These products are sold to municipalities and drain cleaners across the United States, Canada and Australia.
