How Long Does Septic Genie Take To Work?

Saturday, February 28th, 2009

For many people with failing septic systems, one of the biggest questions is how long it will take for the Septic Genie to work?  The simple answer is it will go to work immediately.  But the more important question is how long it takes for the Septic Genie to restore a septic system to an efficient performance level.

That answer isn’t so simple, but in most cases the restoration process will happen in less than 90 days.  The results can vary from just a couple of weeks to over 90 days.  This isn’t an exact science, and the state of your system when you install the Septic Genie plays a big role.

Immediately upon installation the Septic Genie goes to work.  The first noticeable improvement will be with septic odors.  You will find that within 24-48 hours the odors caused by your septic system will disappear completely, never to return.

The next step is for the bacteria colony you introduced to establish itself in your septic tank.  This takes some time, but within the first 30 days these bacteria will begin to digest the organic solids in your tank.  The result is that within those first 30 days you will see a significant difference in the clarity of the liquid inside the septic tank.

The foundation of the Septic Genie system is the bacteria, and once they are established in the tank and growing rapidly they will slowly begin to migrate into the drain field.  This is where the system really begins to make a difference.

These “good” bacteria are designed to digest and remove organic solids, including the bio-mat that is the cause of drain field clogging and failure.  It takes time for this process to take place, but eventually the quantity of bacteria builds to a point that migration takes place and these gunk eaters start to restore the drain field.

From start to finish this entire process can take from a few weeks to a few months depending on the state of the septic system and drain field.  If your septic system has just recently shown signs of failure, the restoration process will happen much quicker than if you have a system that has been malfunctioning for several years.

The bottom line is that if your septic system has been around for 20 or so years it won’t be restored overnight.  But with the Septic Genie the restoration process will begin immediately and you will see quantifiable results within days.

We guarantee the Septic Genie and are confident it will solve your septic system problems.  We built this unit with you in mind.  The Septic Genie is a cost-effective solution to your failing septic system.  It is simple to install, requires no maintenance and will restore your septic system in a timely manner and keep it functioning at a high level for years to come.

How Do You Know Septic Genie Will Work For You?

Thursday, February 19th, 2009

Many of you looking for solutions to your septic system failure are wondering if the Septic Genie will work for you. The simple answer is most likely. There are very few situations where the Septic Genie won’t fix your septic system.

No matter where you live, septic systems work the same. They may have different components but they all function the same. All septic systems consist of the same key components.

To start with, your septic system has a tank. Some systems have a single chamber tank, while others have a two-chamber tank. The tank may be concrete or plastic. Regardless of the size or material, the tanks all function as a place to store the solids.

The drain field is the second common component, designed to accept liquid from the tank and disperse it into the ground safely. Again, the type and material may vary, but the function is the same. You may for example, have a lateral line drain field or maybe a leaching pit.

Speaking of soil, depending on where you live your soil type can vary dramatically. Some areas may have a more sandy loam soil, while others will have clay soils. No matter the soil content, your septic system is designed to take your waste and transport it to the soil to be absorbed.

Regardless of the specific makeup of your septic system, almost all systems have the same main components and work the same. That is good news, as the Septic Genie is designed to work with all systems.

The Septic Genie is designed to unclog your drain field and restore it to normal operation. The most common problem in failing septic systems is the build up of bio-mat in the soil – regardless of soil type. The Septic Genie will begin working immediately upon installation to eliminate this bio-mat and return your septic system to full functionality.

As long as your drain field was working when installed and worked for a reasonable amount of time, the Septic Genie will be able to restore your drain field and help your system function properly.

But to help insure that the Septic Genie will work for you, we have a questionnaire you can fill out and send in to us that will allow us to evaluate your septic system and determine whether the Septic Genie is right for you.

Some of the important questions you will need to answer include what kind of septic system you have, what kind of disposal system is used, how much daily water you use and the capacity in gallons of your septic tank. You will also need to know how to access your septic tank, how recently it has been pumped and the type of system failure you are having.

Common symptoms of septic system failure include foul odors, back ups in your plumbing, effluent (water) surfacing over your drain field or above your tank, or swampy drain fields.

If your septic system is showing signs of failure, take the time to check out what the Septic Genie can do solve your problems. If you are unsure whether the Septic Genie can solve your problems, fill out the Septic Genie questionnaire http://www.septicgenie.com/pdf/Work_for_Me.pdf and we will evaluate your situation and give you an honest answer on how the Septic Genie can help improve your septic system.

The Septic Genie brings peace of mind to those who install it. By providing efficient and complete removal of bio-mat the Septic Genie will keep your drain field working properly and your septic system running smoothly for years to come.

Will Septic Genie Work In A Single Chamber Septic Tank?

Monday, February 16th, 2009

One of the most common questions we get about the Septic Genie is whether the Genie will work in a single chamber septic tank? If you have watched our videos and read our installation instructions you will see that we show how to install the Genie in a two chamber septic tank. Why? Because two chamber tanks are becoming more popular as they provide a more efficient method for separating the solids from the liquid.
Despite the recent popularity of two chamber tanks, the Septic Genie was specifically designed to work with just about any type of septic tank, and a single chamber septic tank is no exception.

To better understand why it works it either a single or two chamber tank, it is important to understand what the Septic Genie does and why it doesn’t matter what type of tank you have.

The most common failure in any septic system is the buildup of bio-mat that in turn decreases the drain field’s ability to flow by clogging the soil. Bio-mat is a sludgy, black slime that builds up over time as raw sewage is released into the ground. Over time this bio-mat clogs the soil and decreases and even eliminates drainage. The result? Your drain field becomes a squishy bog.

As your drain field fails, the liquid begins to rise to the surface. This results in boggy soil over your drain field, and even creates areas of surface water. Other signs of a failed septic system includes foul odors, gurgling drains and even backups in the house. The lowest plumbing fixtures, usually toilets, are prone to back up when the system fails.

The solution is Septic Genie. Whether you have a single chamber or two chamber tank, the Septic Genie will go to work immediately upon installation thanks to the good bacteria that is introduced.

This all natural process begins to restore your septic system in an environmentally safe and efficient manner with the introduction of our special blend of bacteria that “eats” the organic matter in your septic tank and drain field. Over time the number of bacteria grows to a point where not only is the soil in your drain field cleaned up, but the actual water draining into the field is a clear liquid that will allow your drain field to function like it was originally designed to do.

The result of the Septic Genie is decreased maintenance costs as the need for pumping your tank is decreased dramatically, and the fear of bio-mat buildup is eliminated indefinitely. There is no need for the expense of digging up and replacing your drain field. Even the foul odors are eliminated in as little as 24 hours.

The Septic Genie is cost-effective, easy to install and will give you the peace of mind that your septic system will continue to work efficiently for years to come.

In summary, Septic Genie will work no matter what type of septic tank you have.
