Do You Have Effluent Showing Up In Your Yard?

Friday, May 8th, 2009

Help! I have effluent showing up in my yard, does this mean my leechbed is full and needs replaced? Or can the Septic Genie help me???? Thanks!!

This is the typical symptom of drain field failure. It is an inevitable consequence of putting anaerobic (without oxygen) effluent from conventional septic systems into the same place in the soil.  The normal period of time it takes for this failure to occur is approximately 20 years.

This period of time is based on the soil type, the design of the drain field and the number of people who use the septic system daily.

The Septic Genie technology was developed to reverse this situation by breaking down the organic slimes and other organic materials that clog the soil pores.   This is accomplished by using aeration and facultative bacteria in a device that merely sits on the bottom of your septic tank and “grows” these bacteria using your family’s wastes as “food”.

Upon leaving the septic tank, these bacteria will continue to breakdown organic material, most especially organic slimes, thus reducing the viscousity of these slimes, and returning the drain field to proper function.

The Septic Genie will solve this problem.
