Restoring Septic System Drain Fields

restoring drianfieldsRestoring Failed Drain Fields:
Failed drain fields may be restored with Septic Seep. Good results have been obtained by applying 4 gallons directly to the drain field soil as a shock treatment. Septic Seep should be applied through a distribution box, cleanout, or el leading directly to the drain field, bypassing the septic tank. Have the tank pumped the day you intend to apply Septic Seep. All standing water should be pumped from the drain field if possible. You may have to dig below the surface of the soil to find your distribution box. If you do not have, or cannot find, a distribution box, cleanout, or el leading directly to the drain field, the product may be applied through the outlet of the septic tank using a funnel with a length of old garden hose attached. Place the end of the hose in the septic tank outlet and pour all 4 gallons through the funnel. Follow the application with enough clear water (up to 50 gallons) to flush the product deeper into the field.

If the septic tank has not been properly maintained, drainfield soil may be clogged by organic solids, which have migrated from the tank to the soil. If this condition exists Septic Seep will help the effluent penetrate the biomat and enter the soil, but it will not treat the condition directly. To treat contaminated drainfield soil we recommend a follow up treatment of Mega-Bio™ dissolvable powdered bacteria formulation.

WARNING: Septic tanks can be hazardous. Noxious gases collect in the top of the tank, and tank contents pose a health hazard. We recommend hiring a licensed professional septic service technician if application must be done through the tank outlet.

PLEASE NOTE: Some septic tanks have a “T” outlet, or baffle installed on the outlet to reduce the amount of solids flowing to the drain field. These types of systems may prevent accessing the outlet in this way. If it is not possible to access the tank outlet, or use any other method of direct drain field application the product may be applied through a toilet or drain. Although not AS effective as a shock treatment applied directly to the soil, application in this manner will help restore drain field soil. Septic Seep has been shown to be effective in solutions as dilute as 1 part per 1,000.

Septic Seep has been used successfully for over 50 years, but due to the wide range of contributing factors that may cause drain field failure, we cannot guarantee the effectiveness of Septic Seep.



West Wind Marketing has been selling Septic Seep on the Internet since 1999. We continuously survey our customers to find out how well the product performed. Many of our customers were told by a service technician or pumper that the only solution to their problem is total drain field replacement. Over 80% of those who applied the product to a sluggish, or failing drain field saw an improvement, or total restoration of the percolating ability of the soil. While this is an overwhelming majority, it leaves almost 20% who were not satisfied, or saw little improvement in the operation of their septic system.

We want you to know the truth. We don’t claim that Septic Seep will solve everyone's septic system problems. If you haven’t had your septic tank pumped in 20 years your problem is probably beyond the scope of what Septic Seep can do. The best results can be obtained when Septic Seep is applied to soil that has a high clay content. If you don’t know what kind of soil you have read the "Signs of Septic System Failure" page on this web site.

The bottom line is: if your septic system drain field is failing, you have several choices you can make ranging from an expensive total replacement to trying a product like ours. It may not work, but it probably will, isn’t it worth a try? We know there are other companies who offer guarantees on their products, but please read the fine print, know what is being guaranteed. Will they take responsibility if your drain field is damaged by their product's use?

We know that Septic Seep has not damaged a drain field in over 50 years of use. Additionally, we guarantee that we are bringing you a high quality product with a track record we can be proud of.

Recently, we introduced a new product Mega-Bio™ bacteria drainfield treatment. We canvased the biological manufacturing industry and found what we believe to be one of the best, if not the best, bacteria formulation for use in septic drainfields. The manufacturer is of the highest caliber with a long history in the formulation of remedial biological products. We are proud to bring this product to the marketplace and very pleased with the response of our customers to our new product Mega-Bio.

We want you to be satisfied with your purchase. Before ordering make sure your plumbing is intact, and that there is no root intrusion. If you're having a problem with your system, check out the possibilities. Once you are sure that the cause of your problem is soil failure order our products.

I appreciate your business.
