Frequently asked questions
Septic tanks rely upon a healthy population of certain bacteria types in order to function well. Bacteria are tiny living beings (microorganisms). They eat the sewage, fats and grease contained in the septic tank, turning solids into water. Without this activity the solid matter in the tank can exceed the levels that allow it to flow properly. Generally speaking if the solid matter exceeds 1/3 of the tanks capacity it runs a serious risk of backing up and blocking – the smell will also be stronger.
Bacteria are alive and like all living organisms they will die. The use of bleach and harsh chemical cleaners will also kill bacteria. The regular use of Septico’s bacterial septic tank treatment will maintain a healthy and active septic tank and keep it working effectively.
