Tools and Hardware Reviews of Roebic FRK-6 Foaming Root Killer, 1-Pound
Customer Review: It seems to do the job
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this on the recommendation of a neighbor, who is also a plumber. My house is over 70 years old and there are a number of trees in the yard. I had mentioned I noticed some flow and drain problems with the toilets and sinks, and he suggested there may be roots in the system and that this might be cheaper than having the system scoped and cleaned. I used it about 2 months ago and have noticed no more problems with toilets flushing properly or drains gurgling or backing up. I would recommend that you mix the product in a separate pail as suggested and immediately flush the toilet as recommended as it foams pretty quickly. This will definitely be part of my annual maintainence project.Customer Review: Works great - despite what my drain guy said!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was having constant problems with my drain line - had to have it snaked once in 2008 and twice (in the span of 3 months) in 2009. My drain guy said that I should prepare myself for a costly repair. When I mentioned this product, he told me not to waste my money - it would never work.
I put it down my toilet every 3 months and, since the summer of 2009, I have not had to have the line snaked again. Used to be constant backup into my sinks when I was doing the laundry, toilets and sinks gurgling, and my powder room toilet backing up.
Thankfully - no more!
I can see why the drain guy doesn't recommend this product - he is losing money!
Customer Review: Works Great!
Summary: 5 Stars
After years with very little trouble, our sewer started backing up every 5 or 6 weeks, time after time, with no hint of what was causing our problem! We tried different sewer clearing companies during this time. Finally, after one man had to return within his 30 day guarantee period he tried changing to a bigger cutting blade once he got through the clog and this time pulled out a piece of root! This was the Eureka Moment!
A month later I used Roebic Foaming Root Killer for the first time and now am on a six month schedule (just to be on the safe side).
What a relief that it has been over a year now since that last drain clearing call!
Customer Review: It really works!
Summary: 5 Stars
We moved into an older home about a year ago and a fifty year old magnolia tree was growing directly over our sewer pipe. Since we had older plumbing, the pipes were terra cotta so the tree roots could easily grow and find their way into our sewer line. We noticed our drains were becoming a bit slow as of late, so we tried this product. I did not notice a huge change at first, but after about 9 days, something "broke loose" and now our drains run much faster! FYI--we had to cut that magnolia tree down, but we were told that until the stump completely dies, the tree roots still keep growing--so until then, we will be using this product annually.Customer Review: Wow

We were having trouble with roots in our main sewer. We had water backing up into the basement laundry room whenever we took a shower. The city came out to clear the lines, and we hired plumbers to come out also to clear the lines. Every 6 months it seems the roots returned. I ordered this product to just see what it would do. I use 2 bottles down the toilet every six months for the past 2 years, and I have not had to call a plumber or get the wet vac out since.
It is nice when a product just does what it says.
I am a very satisfied customer.
