How Do I Get Rid of Roots in My Septic Tank?
My septic tank has alot of tree roots in it (the tree is about 15 feet away from the access hole. They have grown into the inlet pipe from the house and plugged it up. We got the pipe clear for now, but I’m afraid they will grow back.
Is there a way to destroy them?

I see this all the time. Use rid-ex once a week until you can replace the tank. If you have roots your tank needs replacement. Call a proffesional in your area to come out for a free estimate just to get a ballpark a 1,250 gallon tank installed here in Maryland runs about $2,800.00 thats for a 1-1.5 bath house more bathrooms bigger tank makes it cost more
It will grow back. You will have to find someone to remove the tree because if you dont you will countunie to have the problem. A plumber can chop them out with a sewer machine but its only a temp fix..
Tree needs to go..
personally, I’d either try to armor the pipe by putting something impenetrable between the pipe the the roots, or if it’s not too much trouble just keep chopping up the roots as they start to grow through the pipe.
Buy some copper sulphate crystals (bluestone) and spread them around the inlet pipe and anywhere else where roots might penetrate. Cover the area carefully with soil. Take care when using copper sulphate, it is damaging to skin and eyes.
ROTO ROOTER LOL!
Not sure I guess call a septic company and ask them
