Preventing Septic Tank System problems |
| The Silent One |
The septic system in the average home, with two baths and three occupants will process over 85,000 gallons of wastewater annually.
All of this wastewater passes through the septic tank, and into the drain field, where bacteria in the soil purifies the waste.
PROBLEM 1 Sodium in ordinary detergents, soaps, household cleaners, and water softeners causes clay particles in the soils to chemically bond.
PROBLEM 2 Grease and organic matter form a tar-like layer called the biomat. When the biomat grows too thick a waterproof barrier develops and absorption stops.
When soil absorption stops, soils flood. Standing water may be seen on the surface of the drain field. Water may back up into the tank and even into household plumbing. This is often the first sign of soil failure in your septic system.
SEPTIC SEEP can solve both of these problems! Before you spend a lot of money replacing an expensive drain field, try Septic Seep. Septic Seep is easy to apply to your septic system.
For normal working septic systems: Use 1/2 gallon every 6 months applied through the toilet, sink drain or convenient drain near the septic tank.
For sluggish septic systems: Use 1/2 gallon for the first treatment, then use 2 cupfuls (16oz.) per week for the next 4 weeks, then use 1 cup (8oz.) per week.
Cesspools and seepage pits: Use 1/2 gallon for the first treatment, then 1 cup (8oz.) every 2 weeks per pit.
Restoring Failed Drain Fields: In actual field experience, failed drain fields have been restored by applying Septic Seep in greater quantities. Good results have been obtained by applying 4 gallons directly to the drain field soil as a shock treatment.
