Septic System FAQ #1- CAN I POUR SEPTIC DRAINER DIRECTLY IN MY SEPTIC TANK?

Answer: No, it’s better to apply Septic Drainer directly in the drain lines by accessing the “Distribution Box”. The Distribution Box is usually about 10’ off the septic tank. If there is no Distribution Box simply use a hose about 15’-20’ long and insert the hose in the outgoing line (effluent line) from the tank to the drain field and pour the product using the hose with a funnel. It may be better to dig up the outgoing line to the drain field and install a clean out for future access. (All very easy and common practice.)

Septic System FAQ #2- CAN I APPLY SEPTIC DRAINER WITH A BACTERIA TREATMENT?

Answer: Yes you can. Septic Drainer is applied in the drain field while the bacterium is applied in the septic tank.

Septic System FAQ #3- HOW LONG DOES SEPTIC DRAINER TAKE TO WORK?

Answer: The normal time is about three weeks, but could take longer or shorter depending on the system failure. In some cases because of hydraulic loading of ground water, a system may never drain completely. But it will not back-up with regular maintenance and an application of Septic Drainer every six months.

Rain and Septic Drain Fields – The True Effects

Posted on February 24, 2019February 13, 2023 by Mark Reynolds

There are some misconceptions on the relationship between heavy rain and saturated septic leach fields. best septic treatment So in this blog, we’ll discuss these falsehoods and provide you with factual information you can utilize in the future.

The truth is, if a septic system is failing, heavy amounts of rain will only accentuate the problem, making the failure more noticeable. The heavy rain isn’t the real culprit; it’s really the failed septic system you need to worry about. Heavy rains that cause significant pooling near your septic drain field are a potential red flag that you need to take action, and quickly.

So with that being said, there are many steps you can take to avoid a failing septic system and drain field or leach field. For starters, remember to have your system pumped every two years and inspect the tank’s baffles. The baffles prevent solids from entering the drain field.

We also recommend adding Septic Drainer to maintain your drain field’s drain ability. We also recommend adding Bio-Septic Boost a bio-stimulant nutrient that maintains your system’s biological health. These products work together in synergy as part of our overall septic system care package. Interested in repairing your system or preventing failures? Click Here.

What’s The Most Expensive Home Repair?

Posted on June 19, 2017November 14, 2021 by Mark Reynolds

Any guesses? Besides your home, the most expensive repair would be your septic system’s drain field. That’s why keeping it running smoothly is absolutely critical, unless you want to foot the bill of repairs and other remediation methods.

More and more communities are requiring raised mound systems that are costing as much as $35,000. Usually a raised mount system is required, because the percolation rate or liquid draining capability of the soil is very low, mostly in clay soils. It’s a very expensive, and potentially unnecessary, step to take.

In my opinion, a raised mount system only raises the distance between the drain field and the bad soil (clay). Using Septic Drainer opens poorly draining soils by breaking the bond between the soil and sodium. Raised mound systems can be restored using Septic Drainer. Septic Drainer can prevent septic failure and help you avoid the most expensive home repair, just by adding a gallon once every six to 12 months!
