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?

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.

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.
