Frequently Asked Questions
Normal working system maintenance - 1 gallon every 6 months will help maintain your drain field.
Sluggish systems - 3 gallons of Septic Perc. 1 gallon for the first dose, then 1 gallon a week for 2 weeks.
Failing drain fields - 4 gallons of Septic Perc & Mega-Bio. If your septic system's drain field or leach field has stopped accepting water, Septic Perc may be able to rejuvenate the soil. If the soil is contaminated with sludge follow the application with a dose of Mega-Bio to digest grease, soap, paper and organic materials in the drain field. See our Combo Shock Treatment.
We have found that Septic Perc works well in many types of soil containing fine particles, which can bind together similar to clay. Mega-Bio can be used in any type of soil.
Clay soils are made up of tiny particles that cling together and subsequently cling well to water. To help determine how much of your soil is clay you can simply take a handful of your soil and try to squeeze it together. Once squeezed, release your fingers and see if the soil is still in a ball. The more clay it has, the more solid and less-brittle it will appear. Although it is not unique to any one place, you can usually find an abundance of clay soil in the southeast portions of the U.S.
Pumpers often observe water falling back into septic tanks from the field as the level is pumped down. This is an important sign of soil failure. It is obvious that the problem does not originate in the tank, but in the drain field. Puddles of water appearing on the surface of the drain field are a good indication that the soil is flooded and the drain field is failing.
It is not always easy to diagnose the cause of backups. Slowly draining sinks and toilets, gurgling sounds in the plumbing, plumbing backups, sewage odors in the house, or tests showing the presence of bacteria in well water are signs of drain field failure.
