Reobic Foaming Root Killer - How much to use?

Author: davekox (TX)

Hello - First time post here and I hope I can get some insight. Straight to the point to avoid the lengthy story: How much Roebic Foaming Root Killer should I use to reach a clog (assuming it is tree roots) 84 feet away from the toilet? I assume I could just use twice the amount used for 50 feet but want to make sure that isn't overkill.

I hope to avoid costly digging. Plumber gave me a quote of $1250 but that is only if there are no further complications.

You may be wasting your time if it actually works it will not be fast acting and if it contains any kind of acidic solution it could damage the pipe as well as any roots normally plumbers would snake or jet the entire line, this is not a permanent solution but it is effective

Btw to dig and replace any section of a sewer is not cheap the price you were given is pretty reasonable
