A happy LONG life for your septic system!

Are you drowning your drainfield?
Probably the most misunderstood component of your septic system is the billions of hard working bacteria that live in that soil.
And just like you they breath oxygen..... and just like you they don't do well holding their breath under water ...

At least 25% of the US population relies on onsite systems to safely treat their wastewater.

Probably the leading cause of failure is flooding due to leaky toilets and faucets or through improper landscaping and watering.

Not only is this a large future bill for repairs or replacement it's also going to make a mark on your water and electricity bills!
