Is your septic system is having issues percolating? Below is our explanation on Septic Tanks and what causes the issues may be having.
Typical septic systems work in an anaerobic environment, which lacks oxygen. This environment promotes the growth of a black, sludge-like layer called the a biomat in the drain field. The biomat is the cause of septic problems.
Over time, the biomat can seal the ground and sidewalls of the drainfield, preventing it from absorbing water discharged from the septic tank. This results in many symptoms of septic system failure, including ponding, foul smell, slow flushing toilets and drains, tank overflows and system back-ups.
