FOAM-FILLED PIPE
The foam-filling application method fills the air
space above the sewage flow where roots grow. Generally this method is
used to foam-fill smaller lines. The foam-filling method allows for some
treatment of lateral lines in the process.

| FOAM-COATED PIPES
The patented foam-coating application method
is designed for foam-coating the internal sewer walls of smaller lines
which have light root intrusions. It can also be used to coat larger
diameter lines that are too closely to treat any other
way.

longer lasting root control.

municipalities for control of roots in sewers for over 25
years.
- Recognized by EPA as an effective root control
method. According to EPA 600/2-77-017a, Vaporooter is "the acceptable
method of chemical control" and "no other method of control approaches
the effectiveness found in Vaporooter".

additional cost ) in the handling and effective use of all
Vaporooter products and equipment.
