Septic Remediation
Septic Tank Problems Resolved with Septic Remediation
Though anaerobic septic tanks are a tried and true method of processing household waste water, it’s a matter of time until septic tank problems occur. On average, septic tanks fail after 15 years. There are two types of causes for this: mechanical failures such as pipe collapse or blockages, or a failure of anaerobic waste processing within the tank caused by inadequacies of the process itself. The Septic System Saver™ Remediation System is designed to correct this second type of failure.
Why do anaerobic septic tanks always eventually fail? The problem originates in the drainfield where the tank discharges its partially treated waste water. Over time, a black layer of sludge called the biomat forms in the drain field that is a natural byproduct of anaerobic bacteria at work in the septic system. This biomat eventually seals the ground and sidewalls of the drain field, preventing it from absorbing water from the septic tank. The results include sluggish drains and toilets in the house, and tank overflows and foul odor and other septic tank problems.
First identify the problem. Some septic system problems may be as simple as clogged or broken pipes leading to the tank; others may require pumping of an overfull tank before any further evaluation can be done. Flooding or standing water around the tank typically indicates an overtaxed tank, blocked pipes leading to the drain field or, in some cases, a failed or failing drain field. If necessary, enlist the services of a trained plumber or septic system professional to determine the scope of the current issues. Getting a clear picture of the problem is the first step in creating a strategy for managing these problems effectively.
Second take steps to address the immediate problem. Repair pipes and ensure that they are free of all blockages and obstacles to the free passage of water. Pump the tank to remove excess water and ensure that all mechanical systems within the tank are functioning properly. Even if pumping the tank seems to resolve the problem, making a thorough examination of all working systems is essential to maintain the proper function of this vital household system. Testing and monitoring after the immediate repair work has been done can help to identify any further problems and issues that may be present or developing in the pipes, tank or drain field components of the septic tank system.
Then consider converting to an aerobic septic system. Aerobic bacteria are much more efficient at breaking down particulate matter than the anaerobic bacteria typically found in septic tank environments. This added efficiency can help remediate failing septic systems and can provide long-term improvements in function and capacity. Aerobic systems can often provide useful remediation even in failing septic tanks and may allow them to return to normal function in a remarkably short period of time.
The patented Pirana® Aerobic Bacteria Generator was designed as a compact and seamless, multi-purpose modular addition to your septic tank. The Pirana® device easily installs in any septic tank with little or no landscape damage. In the septic tank, the Pirana® unit provides a unique oxygen environment allowing the natural Pirana® Blend Bacteria, some of the most powerful recycling bacteria found in Nature, to survive and thrive in the septic tank. They rapidly multiply, digest and recycle all of the daily organic solid waste entering the septic tank, virtually eliminating future septic tank pumping. The Pirana® effluent carries them to the drain field where they aggressively consume the biological soil clogging biomat causing system failure. Compared to the expensive and destructive mechanical replacement of a biologically failed disposal field, the affordable Pirana® is the simple biological solution to a biological problem.
