Chemical root control is a popular method used throughout the country to treat destructive roots safely and effectively in a sanitary sewer collection system. With over 400 million feet of chemical root control under our belt, Duke’s has been a leader in the root control field for many utilities from coast to coast. Application of root control foam requires planning and execution by trained professionals. Consideration of your WWTP treatment methods, types of pipe in your system and type of chemical used for treatment will be discussed. This presentation will also discuss integration of GIS for project management and asset management of programs, the ROI of using root control over pipe replacement and proper methods and chemicals that do not harm your system or the vegetation surrounding it.

Learning Objectives:

Identify the difference between high quality root foam and the soupy less effective products.
Justify the implementation of a chemical sewer root control program or increase in budget for current programs.
Understand the differences between an In-House versus a Contractor chemical root control program.
