PROBLEM
1
Sodium
in
ordinary detergents, soaps, household cleaners,
and water softeners causes clay
particles in the soils to chemically bond
and become hardpan causing fields to flood.
SOLUTION:
Septic
Seep breaks the molecular bond restoring drainage
to hardpan soil.
PROBLEM
2
Grease and organic matter form a tar-like
layer called the biomat. The biomat is a natural
and necessary part of the purifying system,
but when the biomat
grows too thick a waterproof barrier develops
and absorption stops.
SOLUTION:
Septic Seep contains
an ingredient that makes "water wetter"
and allows it to penetrate an overgrown biomat.

SEPTIC SEEP was
invented in 1953 by soil and wastewater experts
in the labs of Chevron-ORTHO. |
| SEPTIC
SEEP
is designed to interact with the soil in your
drain field and cure hardpan conditions. |
| SEPTIC
SEEP works in ways that biological products
can't to restore drainage to septic drain fields
even in clay
soil. |
| The
main ingredient of SEPTIC
SEEP is a chemical, calcium polysulfide,
it is not a bacteria or enzyme product. |
| When
you've been told it's time to replace your drain
field TRY SEPTIC
SEEP first. It may save you thousands of
dollars. |
When
soil absorption stops, soils flood. Naturally occurring
beneficial bacteria in the soil die off. Standing
water may be seen on the surface of the drain field.
Water may back up into the tank and even into household
plumbing. This is often the first sign of soil failure
in your septic system.
Septic Seep is easy to apply to your septic
system.
For normal working septic systems: Use 1/2
gallon every 6 months applied through the
toilet, sink drain or convenient drain near the
septic tank.
For
sluggish septic systems: Use 1 gallon for
the first treatment, then use 2 cupfuls (16oz.)
per week for the next 4 weeks, then use 1 cup (8oz.)
per week.
Cesspools
and seepage pits: Use 1/2 gallon for the
first treatment, then 1 cup (8oz.) every 2 weeks
per pit.
Restoring
Failed Drain Fields: In actual field experience,
failed drain fields have been restored by applying
Septic Seep in greater quantities. Good results
have been obtained by applying 4 gallons directly
to the drain field soil as a shock treatment. Fields
contaminated with grease and organic matter will
benefit greatly when followed by a dose of Mega-Bio
dissolvable industrial-strength bacteria formula.
Septic
Seep Is the Choice of Professionals
Our company has been using Septic Seep for
more than twenty years. We use it as a maintenance
product as well as a treatment for failing
drain fields. Many of our service calls come
from home owners who are having problems with
their septic systems backing up. Some of the
time, pumping the septic tank solves the problem;
however, if we have a drain field that is
not accepting water, we always recommend treating
it with Septic Seep prior to pursuing a drain
field replacement. Although Septic Seep works
best as a preventative maintenance item, we
have been very successful in rejuvenating
failed drain fields. A typical drain field
replacement in our area can run as high as
$6,000. The normal Septic Seep treatment we
recommend is to add 4 gallons of Septic Seep
directly into the drain field line whether
it be through a clean-out, distribution box,
or directly through the outlet septic el.
I have seen many failed drain fields open
up and begin percolating again after this
treatment. It doesn't always work, but it's
worth a try if it might save our customers
several thousand dollars.
