Terra is licensed through the States of Michigan and Georgia as a commercial pesticide applicator. Our operators for the chemical root control services are state certified applicators. VAPOROOTER® is a metam sodium herbicide plus dichlobenil growth-inhibitor formulation that is applied by foam filling or foam coating a pipe, whichever allows maximum contact with all roots and pipe surface. Features include:

  • Guaranteed to kill roots on contact and prevent growth for 3 years after treatment
  • Successfully used by municipalities in sewers for 40 years
  • Recognized by the EPA as an effective root control method
  • Only product with both an herbicide to kill the roots, and a growth inhibitor to deter re-growth
  • Surfactant blend which strips away grease/slime from the roots permitting penetration
  • Safe for WWTP use

Terra provides the “hole solution” as an approved and licensed applicator of APM PERMAFORM® and PERMACAST® products. These products rely on a no-dig technology to renew and reconstruct manholes without sewer disruption. Services cover trenchless manhole renewal including structural cementitious liners, waterproofing products, polymer composites, protective coatings, chimney liners, MIC protection and full replacements. This technology eliminates the need for excavation and reduces disruption of traffic flows by keeping the reconstructed unit in service. Services include:

  • Structural rehabilitation of manholes, wet wells, vaults, clarifiers and chambers
  • Epoxy coatings for the protection of manholes, wet wells, vaults, and chambers
  • CONMICSHIELD® and other admixtures for the protection of concrete degradation caused from hydrogen sulfide gases
  • Epoxy coatings for chemical and bacteria corrosion
  • Chimney barriers for infiltrating water
