How Septic Tank Formula works
Enzymes and bacteria found in our digestive tract don’t stop working when they leave our bodies. Instead, they continue breaking down organic materials into smaller and smaller particles, until eventually most of the material can be absorbed back into the soil as environmentally accepted components.
This bacterial process occurs underground within the tank, or holding portion, or the septic system. If this process is disrupted, the wastewater can accumulate beyond the system’s ability to distribute it, leading to system failure (back ups) or even untreated materials being released into the soil before they have been fully processed, which can lead to soil or ground water contamination.
Septic Tank Formula works by introducing concentrated quantities of bacteria into the system which increases the ability of the tank to process wastewater. The increased activity can reduce sludge build up and help clear deposits within lateral lines and pipes, dramatically improving your septic tank’s ability over time.
With just one treatment of Septic Tank Formula, your whole septic system will have increased enzyme activity which begins working immediately against harmful sludge and blockages. Get your septic tank working like it should, order Septic Tank Formula today!
Why proper septic tank maintenance is important With proper care, a septic tank can be utilized for years with little to no problems. Too often though, improper usage results in unsightly backups and system failures that can costly to clean up and potentially hazardous to your health and the environment around you. By using
Septic Tank Formula and following these simple steps, you can help prevent problems before they occur.
- Septic tanks that have not been pumped within the last 5 years most likely needed to be treated. Wastewater needs sufficient time in the tank to settle and undergo treatment. However, sludge build up can prevent this from occurring and push solids into the lateral fields prematurely. This can cause blockages within the drainage field pipes, and eventually lead to a system back-up and possibly contaminate groundwater sources.
- Septic systems that are overused or not functioning at full capacity can cause water to rise to the surface of the tank and eventually pool above ground, causing serious odor and contamination problems as well as potential health risks.
- Never dump toxins into the system as it interferes with the tank’s ability to treat wastewater. Oil, grease, fats, household chemicals, and other contaminants reduce the enzyme count within your septic tank and may lead to sludge problems later on. These chemicals can also seep out into the ground and pollute the soil.
- Septic tanks that are not properly maintained can fracture from environmental stress or outside forces such as tree roots or above ground influences (such as parking or placing heavy items on septic cover slabs). Never place overly heavy objects on the roof of your septic tank, as they could collapse and cause both a biological and physical hazard.
- Septic lateral lines can be smashed or damaged, reducing septic tank outflow capacity. Also known as the lateral field, lateral line are usually perforated pipe systems encased with gravel or sand for added liquid dispersion capabilities. This encasement however leaves them more susceptible to collapse when directly pressured is applied on them, such as driving across or parking heavy objects above them. Stay clear of lateral fields with trenchers, tillers, backhoes, or other underground digging machines as well.
- Septic tanks operate without any significant odor presence. If you detect an odor, this is usually a sign of a problem. Visually check for signs of damage or leaks, and make sure that the tank covering hasn’t been compromised by an above ground source.
Using
Septic Tank Formula preventatively and at the first sign of problems can save you the headache and cost of dealing with a backed up septic tank. Order yours today, and prevent any problems you may have tomorrow.
