During your daily activities, you use large amounts of water. Whether you are washing your hands or doing the laundry, your home is digesting waste as it consumes water. Your home uses a septic system in order to run this process. The septic system is a natural process taking your homes waste and passing it through a system where it can be broken down and seep back into the earth.
Your septic system holds a strong role in your home and is easily neglected. It’s a system responsible for your homes water supply that you use each day and is very much needed. The septic system is installed underground and you will not know there is damage until it starts affecting the home. You can’t physically see a septic system beginning to build up, but you can be aware of the signs. Your drain may be running slower, the water pressure could lower, there may be a foul odor in the home, or you may see an overflow in the yard. There are many ways to prevent these occurrences. The best way to prevent them long term is to have a method of treatment for your septic system. Your treatment will work best if it is based around your needs.
Since each system has a different story and situation, a different combination of bacteria and enzymes will be needed to assist the reverse of large amounts of buildup. The design of a septic system and the usage of the homes water supply are two key variables in how to choose maintenance and treatment for the system. It’s a good idea to use monthly maintenance for your septic system to prevent any possible malfunction. Although you may have an older system that is so backed up that it takes an even longer period of time than listed for your monthly maintenance to start working. If you have such a large amount of buildup in your system, then you must “shock” or jumpstart the system with the strongest possible treatment available. Taking this precaution will give your system the upkeep it needs to run at a regular speed and keep the natural septic process running.
A shock and maintenance system is designed to prevent buildup within the septic systems. Your shock treatment will rapidly reverse buildup and blockage in a matter of weeks. As the monthly maintenance options will take longer amount of time to reverse sludge. Both methods of treatment will speed up the septic process and eliminate problematic occurrences that lead to failure along the septic system design.
