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.

Fix Hardpan Soil to Repair Your Septic System

Posted on September 26, 2017February 14, 2023 by Mark Reynolds

According to the U.S. EPA, 90% of septic failure happens in the septic system’s drain field. That’s a pretty interesting stat when you consider 99% of the products sold today do very little to solve the largest reason a septic system’s drain field fails: “hardpan soil conditions.” Read on to learn how to fix hardpan soil and save your septic system.

Septic drain field failures started to increase after the Clean Air Act of the 1970s, which reduced sulfur omissions. Sulfur allows sodium to build up in soil, creating “hardpan soil.” A byproduct of hard pan soil is a black, slimy substance called bio-mat. Most septic drain field repair products treat bio-mat, without eliminating the reason the bio-mat formed in the first place.

An agent consisting of liquid gypsum and a bio-stimulant reduces or eliminates both hardpan soil conditions and bio-mat. This will fix hardpan soil and restore your system. We strongly recommend using a septic professional to completely flush your system before adding our Septic Drainer and Bio-Septic Boost. These proven products can then take over from there and keep your system running as it should.

Septic Repair: How To Choose The Right One For The Job

Posted on March 9, 2017February 14, 2023 by Mark Reynolds

Choosing the right septic repair products for the correct applications is vital. The highest percentage of septic repair products sold today don’t address the underlying septic drain field problem; they are products such as bacteria, that work on a symptom of septic drain field failure called bio-mat. That’s only a partial solution to a much more extensive underlying problem.

When the air flow stops in the soil of the septic drain field, aerobic bacteria turns into anaerobic bacteria, creating Bio-mat. Hardpan soil, created when clay-based soil mixes with salts, causes this drainage problem. The process creates a thin layer of soil that prevents wastewater from draining, causing septic drain field failure. That’s why you need to treat the bio-mat and hardpan soil in order to restore function to your septic system.

Using four gallons of Septic Drainer poured directly in the septic drain field pipes is recommended. Septic Drainer can repair a septic drain field and you can help to maintain that septic drain field by adding a gallon every six months directly in your toilet. It will both save you thousands of dollars in septic drain field repair costs.

How Septic Drain Field Repair Can Literally Save You Thousands

Posted on September 9, 2016February 14, 2023 by

Septic Drain Field Repair Septic systems are a great option for a home. But, if any part of the septic system stops working, the result is often a plumbing emergency that requires immediate attention.

The system can become clogged and the septic drain field can fail. This is common if too much water is running through the septic tank at all times, since the walls never get the chance to dry. Due to the excess water, a film of bacteria will grow and coat the edges of the drain field, which means that water cannot seep through these pipes and exit the system. In these cases you would need septic repair.

Some common symptoms that you need septic drain field repair include wet spots on the ground, noises coming from drains, or clogged plumbing. If you do have a septic system, try to conserve water as much as you can, and space out usage.

If you find yourself in need of drain field repair, before you dig up your yard or spend thousands of dollars installing a new system or drain field, repair your drain field and septic system with Septic Drainer. It is the most effective way to repair and restore a clogged or failing septic system. Also, be sure to check out another of our great products, Bio-Septic Boost!
