How do you destroy roots in a septic drainage field or in the tightline? Our septic system has been drained 2 times in the last week and still keeps backing up into the house. Help!!!!

If the roots have invaded the lines, how can you get a shovel into the lines?

Here in Australia there is a product called rootrid. You flush it down the loo once a month and it kills off the roots infiltrating the pipes. Maybe there is something similar there?

Thank you so much for that suggestion. I will try to find something like that.
