Roto-Rooter Pipe Shield Opinions
Hi, does anyone have good or bad experience with Roto-Rooter Pipe Shield? Supposedly you use it once a month as profilactic measure to keep pipes clear. Roto Rooter ad talks about "safe" and "natural" but why should I believe them?
In particular would it be safe for the aged plumbing of an old house?
Comments
I'm not sure that I would dump some caustic material into old pipes on a regular basis. Let's not forget that this same material is then going into our sewers...
I agree that you shouldn't trust the company's assertions about "safe" and "natural". Good thinking on that. Safe for whom or for what? You should be able to get a MSDS on this product.

I took this right off Roto-Rooter's website.
Pipe Shield's exclusive formula uses natural bacteria—not harsh chemicals—to liquefy and breakdown deposits that cause clogs, so it's safe for the environment.
They also have MSDS sheets.
