“Should I Add Chemicals to My Septic System?”

Over the past year I have had a lot of people inquire about adding certain chemicals to their septic systems. People are wondering if they should after seeing ad’s on TV and in magazines. The State of Massachusetts does have an approved list of chemicals available through the state web site Mass.gov. Although they have an approved list does not mean your system needs chemical treatments. When you have your septic system pumped you need to ask your technician questions on how your system is operating. An educated system inspector will be able to tell you if chemicals will help your system.

There are some legitimate reasons to add chemicals to your system. Today’s dish and laundry soaps are very concentrated. When these soaps are added to your septic tank they diminish the amount of natural bacteria and enzymes that help breakdown solids and foods that enter the tank. With this being said if your technician informs you that the contents in your tank is very thick then a chemical could assist with breaking this down during scheduled pumping. A properly maintained and operating system should not need chemicals to function according to the Dept. of Environmental Protection.

Another reason and seems to be my most asked question is if the drainfield is not leaching correctly is there any chemicals that can be added to assist? The answer is Yes! In leachfields and cesspools what happens over time is a bio-mat will form. This is a thick black tar like substance and this prevents the system from draining efficiently. There are certain chemicals that can be added directly into the system by a trained technician. These “Environmentally Safe” Chemicals will break down the bio-mat and allow the leach field to operate.

Septic Drainer Review

Septic Drainer is like Magic in a Bottle! After speaking with Mark Reynolds about his product (Septic Drainer), our company decided to give it a try. In the areas we service, a lot of homeowners have septic system problems especially during this time of year. We recently had a system that we did not feel confident that we could effectively restore. Much to our surprise, Septic Drainer did the job. It was like magic in a bottle. We were using Septic Seep as our drainfield restorative and had success but not as much success as with Septic Drainer.

This product is unbelievable. We will never use any other product. We are officially lifetime customers. Mr. Reynolds ability to market his product with full confidence of its effectiveness sold me after one conversation. Buying Septic Drainer was the best decision we have made in a long time.

Smelling Anything But Roses?

The day started off like any other as I took my morning garden tour to check my rose bushes, but a curious smell in the air disrupted my slice of heaven. You didn’t have to be a detective to quickly ascertain that the odor was decidedly “sewer-like” and that my septic drain field was in crisis. To put it mildly – and by this time, the smell was anything but mild – the lawn surface over my septic drain field was awash in wastewater.

In retrospect, I had ignored the warning signs. Bright green strips over the septic drain field should have set off alarm bells.  Then there was a plumbing backup about a month ago, which I attributed to a small toy that a helpful child flushed down the toilet. This was followed shortly thereafter by gurgling sounds in the plumbing and slow-draining sinks and toilets. A call to the septic maintenance company indicated that they had pumped out the septic tank only six months ago, so an inspector was dispatched.

If sewage water cannot trickle through the holes in the underground piping in a septic drain field and the cleaning organisms present in soil cannot do their job, then the effluent will begin to collect. In this case, it was collecting on my lawn.

Septic drain field problems develop over time, and as the inspector pointed out, the sodium present in products used for laundry, in the kitchen and bathroom, and in our diets, bonds with the soil in a septic drain field. Over time, this bond creates an impenetrable barrier, which prevents the wastewater from percolating through the soil. Almost 90% of septic system failures are due to sodium buildup in the soil. If the soil is unable to perform its cleaning or absorptive functions, then the continuous wastewater flushed out from the septic tank into the septic drain field has to find an outlet.

The good news is that is possible to restore soil structure and drainage by adding Septic Drainer to the septic system. An environmentally friend product, Septic Drainer uses a groundbreaking soil-restorative formula to restore failed or failing septic drain fields. The product is based on a solution commonly used in agriculture to improve the absorption of plant foods and water in the fields.

As directed, I added four gallons of Septic Drainer to my 1,000-gallon septic tank, and within a week, my septic system was rejuvenated and back on track. To ensure that the system stays in balance, I will follow the advice to add one gallon of Septic Drainer every six months. The modest cost of Septic Drainer was a welcome alternative to the initial possibility that I would need to repair the piping that distributes effluent through the septic drain field or rip out and replace the septic tank.

Now I can relax and smell my roses.
