My house was built in 1929, so suffice to say, there were a lot of things that needed to be renovated or upgraded when I became the owner! I’ve been very fortunate, because Jai is the most handy person I’ve ever met. He’s done all manner of plumbing in the house himself, from installing hot water heaters to completely remodeling our bathroom.

DIY improvements save a ton of money, but you don’t have to have an intimate knowledge of plumbing to do them. In fact, you can take preventative measures to keep your pipes in good working order without having to know a thing about maintenance!
One of my favorite Roto-Rooter home products is their Roto-Rooter Septic Treatment. The importance of maintaining the septic tank became crystal clear to me within months of becoming a homeowner, when a plumbing issue resulted in me needing to have the whole tank pumped, which cost a couple of hundred dollars.
The formula of Roto-Rooter Septic Treatment is designed to break down things like paper and grease to help keep your system from backing up, and you don’t have to know a thing about plumbing to use it! Simply measure out the product according to your tank size – I used 8oz for our large septic tank – pour it into the toilet, and flush. Repeat this once a month. That’s it! No plumbing experience required. As the old saying goes, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, so it’s worth taking care of small home maintenance projects now, before they turn into problems.
Have you ever tackled any DIY plumbing projects?
We tackle a lot of DIY projects at our house and plumbing is one of them. We’ve never been on septic, but my sister just bought a house with a septic system and she’s learning all kinds of new things! 🙂 I’ll have to tell her about Roto-Rooter Septic Treatment.
I live in Atlanta proper so I don’t have to worry about this. But living in Georgia, almost every person I know has a septic tank. I’ll have to share this with them.
My husband does a lot of the DIY plumbing projects around the house. We aren’t septic, we’re sewer, but I know a lot of friends with septic tanks that use Roto Rooter.
Our house is almost 100 years old, and it shows its age in certain areas of our home. The plumbing is one of them! Need these fixes more than you know.
We usually just call in a professional for any plumbing needs. I will have to pick up a bottle of Roto-Rooter Septic Treatment.
With a houseful of kids, we have had our share of plumbing issues. We love Roto Rooter products
Our house is only ten years old, but definitely has issues with clogged drains and toilets. I will definitely be getting a few bottles of this quick fix!
We have a septic system too. This sounds handy at breaking down the waste to keep everything running smoothly.
This is great information to share, thanks for sharing it with us!
Thank you for these DIY plumbing fixes, I really need this now because our toilet is clogged!
This is a very good product and yes we have tackled plumbing problems and it is not fun. Buy maintaining the plumbing pipes is a must!
I have to admit I sometimes do try fixing things, but I often seem to make things worse, so there are times when I end up calling for help – where as if I had a bit more knowledge I perhaps wouldn’t have.
I will have to pick out some Roto-Rooter Septic Treatment. We just moved into a new house with a septic system.
We have a septic and we’re having issues now. I never even thought to use a regular septic treatment. I will now!
I agree with having to maintain the plumbing pipes. They can be a hassle if not maintained.
I didn’t know that they had these options to help repair your plumbing. I’m going to have to tune my husband into this information!
We are having septic problems. Believe me, it’s no fun at all. I could def. live without them.
I have never tackled a DIY bathroom renovation before. However, mine is about 20 years past due for one!
This is the first time that I heard this product and it looks great.
