Antibacterial Septic Issues

[baltimoresewerservice]

A well-designed septic tank and leach field will be completely maintenance free if you are careful about what goes into it. We limit the amount of cleaning products that go into the system. The happier the enzymes down there are, the better. I use white vinegar for all my cleaning, and I use as little dish detergent as I can. We had them pump the septic tank contingent to our purchase 20 years ago. We haven't had a single problem since then.

It's easy enough to prove your theory. Check the sludge level with a sludge measurement tool. Tank sludge level is usually never higher than 1/3 of tank depth. Because at 1/3 level the sludge is carried out of the tank by flow currents. Or if you installed a effluent filter on the tank discharge pipe and it plugs up. Ooops....
