Septic Tank Drain Field or Leech Field Wet Spots? Septikos Can Help

Septic System Problem
Septic tank drain field & leech field wet spots

Causes:
• Buildup of oil and grease in the leach field
• Heavy input of oil and grease into the system
• Heavy buildup of solids and sludge in septic tank
• Heavy water usage
• Poor septic system design
• High water table or dense soil (like clay)
• Crushed or broken leach lines (heavy equipment or roots)
• Leaking septic tank or pipes

Why septic tank drain & leech field wet spots

Wet spots are puddles that form on the ground surface near the septic tank, the drain field or leech field. When water cannot pass properly through the leach field, it either backs up into the home or office or it is forced to the surface, resulting in puddles.

These wet spots can be a warning sign the system is approaching failure. Steps should be taken immediately to avoid serious health hazards and very expensive repairs.

The problem is often caused by a buildup of oil and grease in the soil. These materials can be difficult for microbes in the system to digest. In fact, experts say that oils like cooking oil and motor oil will not be degraded at all. If they leave the septic tank, they will stick to the soil in the leach field. Over time, buildup in the soil will clog drainage so much that water must find an alternate path.

Waste must spend adequate time in the septic system to be properly degraded. As solids and sludge build up in the tank, there is less and less room for passing water, so it spends less time in the system. If solid and sludge levels are not controlled properly, waste will pass into the leach field and accumulate until it blocks water passage.

In some cases, designers or installers of a septic system do not fully consider the environmental conditions of the site prior to installation. A small leach field, dense or rocky soil, or a shallow water table can have a profound impact on how well the system works. If adjustments are not made to accommodate for these factors, even a small amount of buildup in the tank or leach field can cause problems with the system's output.

Another common problem is tree roots that break or block leach lines. Also, crushed or broken leach lines can be the result of heavy equipment moving over the leach field or shifts in the ground as the system ages.

Solution for septic tank drain field wet spots

• Determine the cause of the problem
• Add Septikos^® to remove buildup in the leach field
• Add Septikos to control solids and sludge in the septic tank
• Practice water conservation
• Reduce oil and grease input
• Repair or replace damaged tank or lines

Microbes in the septic system are responsible for degrading wastes so that clean water passes into the ground. In order to work properly, microbes must have both a strong population and enough time to work. When these do not occur, solids will pass into the leach field and begin to clog it up.

Septikos counteracts these problems by quickly multiplying the microbes and giving them a constant source of nourishment. The strong microbial population then works to break down solids and sludge in the tank and oil and grease buildup throughout the system, including the leach field. Soon, water will flow from the system as it was designed to do.

Septikos will help microbes break down oil and grease that would otherwise pass through the system to the leach field. While Septikos is specifically designed for septic system use, BioNutraTech manufactures other products with the same technology for use in oil spills, grease traps and municipal wastewater treatment plants where oils are common. With a little help, these problem substances can be degraded by the microbes that are naturally present.

If the system design has flaws or if the system has been damaged, Septikos will make it work as efficiently as possible, keeping problems to a minimum. Unfortunately, the only way to fix these kinds of problems is to repair or replace the problem areas.

But if wet spots are forming because of buildup in the leach field, we strongly recommend using Septikos as soon as possible to avoid health hazards and a failed system. When used as directed, expect to see early results within two to eight weeks, depending on the extent of the problem, the weather and other environmental factors.
