What are the causes of septic system backups?

There are several things that can cause a septic system to back up. To accurately diagnose the problem, you must understand what is going on. There is more water going into the system than is going out. Below are some potential causes:

Excessive water usage

Septic systems are designed to accept wastewater from the home. The size of the system is based on the number of bedrooms. The more bedrooms in the home the larger the tank must be and the larger the drainfield or mound needs to be. The industry uses a calculation to determine how much water the home is going to use. The standard is that each bedroom will have two occupants and they will each use fifty gallons per day. They then add in a factor of safety of 50%.

Therefore, as an example, a three-bedroom home would use 450 gallons of water each day (3 bedrooms x 2 occupants/bedroom x 50 gallons/day x 1.5 = 450). Therefore, if you have a system designed for 450 gallons per day and you are putting 550 gallons per day through it the water cannot be dispersed fast enough, and it will back up into the house or above the septic tank or above or around the drainfield or mound.

The excess water flow can be caused by poor water conservation habits such as long showers or doing two weeks of laundry all in one day. It can also be caused by mechanical malfunctions of water-using devices. As an example, a leaking flapper valve in a toilet can easily put an extra 2,000 gallons per day into the system! That is over four times the design flow rate of the system. A dripping faucet can put fifty gallons per day through the system.

Another common cause of excessive water use is water softeners and iron filters. These devices use a backwash process to clean the media that filters out the hardness or iron. Modern equipment is much more efficient than older equipment. If the machine malfunctions during a backwash or regenerative cycle it can add another 3,000 gallons of water into the system each day.

A clogged inlet pipe

A clogged pipe or a partially clogged pipe can cause backups. A clog can occur in the pipe between the home and the septic tank, or between the septic tank and the drainfield or mound. The pipe between the house and the septic tank should have a downward pitch of 1/4″ per foot of run. If the pitch is less than this the water and waste will not have enough velocity to overcome the friction in the pipe and not make their way to the septic tank.

If the pitch is too great, the liquids will travel faster than the solids. When this separation happens the solids eventually stop moving in the pipe and the liquids make it into the tank. Another common variation of this is a pipe that has a low spot that water and waste pools in. In all scenarios, the waste is stuck in the pipe and over time it builds up and will not allow any wastewater to flow into the septic tank. A clog can also occur in the inlet pipe if the inlet baffle in the tank is not in place.

A typical anaerobic septic tank has a thick layer on the surface of the water in the tank called a scum layer. The inlet baffle is designed to allow the wastewater to flow into the tank below the scum layer. If the inlet baffle is not in place the solids flowing from the house into the tank begin to pile up on top of the scum layer. Eventually, this waste will clog the end of the pipe and not allow any wastewater from the house into the septic tank and cause a backup.

In exceedingly rare occasions, roots can grow into the pipe usually at the joint where the pipe inserts into the tank. The solid waste from the home will get caught on the roots and cause the pipe to fill with solids and cause a backup. A clogged inlet pipe can be caused by a clogged outlet pipe. This will be discussed in the next paragraph.

A clogged outlet pipe

A clogged outlet pipe can cause a backup because it will not allow the partially treated wastewater (effluent) to leave the septic tank. If the outlet pipe is clogged it will cause the water level in the tank to rise above the normal level. There is typically a three-inch to four-inch fall between the inlet pipe and the outlet pipe. That is, the bottom of the inlet pipe is 3″ – 4″ above the outlet pipe. The typical inlet pipe is three inches in diameter. So, when the tank level rises about 5″- 6″ the inlet pipe becomes submerged.

At this point, the velocity of the wastewater coming into the tank hits the stagnant water in the tank and abruptly stops. As the water level in the tank rises 7″ – 8″ it is not backing up into the inlet pipe. Now the velocity of the incoming wastewater is stopped in the inlet pipe. Now, the solids begin to accumulate in the inlet pipe and eventually clog the inlet pipe. When the water level in the tank is high enough to submerge the inlet pipe you may hear gurgling pipes, drains, or toilets. The gurgling is caused because the tank can no longer vent properly.

When one gallon of water enters the tank from the home it must displace one gallon of air from the tank. This air travels up the inlet pipe above the wastewater and exits the soil stack on the roof of the house. When the inlet pipe is submerged it will not allow the air to flow freely so it builds a little air pressure inside the septic tank. When the pressure gets high enough it overcomes the water flow and burbs a slug of air into the inlet pipe.

This same phenomenon happens when you pour water out of a jug. When you tip the jug upside down the water flows rapidly and then suddenly stops because air must get into the bottle to displace the water that left. Once the air is back in the bottled water begins to flow for a brief moment and then the process of airflow repeats itself until all the water is out of the bottle. A clogged outlet pipe can be caused by an outlet baffle that is not functioning as designed or simply missing.

The scum layer begins to build up on the bottom of the outlet pipe. When this happens the water level in the tank rises a little allowing the scum layer to get a little thicker on the bottom of the outlet pipe. Eventually, the pipe builds up with the scum layer debris and clogs the pipe. Foreign material that should not be flushed down the drain can clog the outlet pipe. Examples of foreign materials are feminine napkins, “flushable” wipes, baby wipes, cigarette butts, grease, and hair.

It is extremely rare that roots can cause a clogged outlet pipe unless the pipe is completely filled with roots. The water flowing out of the septic tank does not have any substantial solids in it so it will not get caught up on the roots.

A failing drainfield or mound

A failing drainfield or mound can cause a backup because it won’t accept any additional water, so the tank levels rise. The scenario of elevated tank levels described above will occur when the drainfield or mound is failing.

What Are The Solutions To A Backed-Up Septic Tank?

The solution to a backed-up septic tank depends on what is causing the issue. The first thing that you should do is locate the septic tank cover. The septic tank cover is usually twenty-four inches in diameter or less. Or the septic tank cover could be square or rectangular. Most tanks have at least one septic tank cover. If the tank has only a single cover it is typically located above the outlet baffle of the tank. If you are lucky the system was built with a septic tank riser, so you do not need to do any digging.

If you must dig down to locate the cover, you can expect it to be only a few inches below the surface to several feet below the surface. May tanks have two septic tank covers. The second cover will typically be located above the inlet baffle. If you do need to dig down to expose the septic tank cover, I suggest that you install a septic tank riser. The septic tank riser will bring the cover to the surface so this will be the last time you have to dig!

Once the cover is located and exposed remove the cover from the tank. Many times, the covers are made of heavy concrete so you may need a pry bar to remove the cover. Once the cover is removed you can inspect the inside of the tank.

You should never leave the sight of a septic tank with the cover removed. An open tank is a safety hazard that exposes the risk to children and pets of falling into the tank.

If you can see the inlet and or outlet baffle, probe a long stick into the baffle to see if it is clogged. Many times, this technique will dislodge the clog. If the tank level is too high and you cannot see the inlet or outlet baffle you should have the tank pumped. Have the pumping company watch and listen for water running back from the drainfield. This would indicate that the pipes are not actually clogged but the drainfield or mound is failing. Many times, the pumping company will have a mirror on a stick and a flashlight. They will use these tools to see if the inlet baffle is intact and in good working order.

While the tank is being pumped down, flush the toilet, and run some water in the house to determine if the inlet pipe is clogged. If the water flows freely into the tank after it is pumped the problem is not likely the inlet pipe. If the water does not flow freely from the house to the tank after the tank is pumped the issue is a clogged inlet pipe. This pipe will need to be snaked from the inlet baffle if you have access to it or from the house side.

Many times, a cleanout port is located in the inlet pipe outside of the building between the house and the tank. Look for a cleanout port. If there is no cleanout port and you do not have access to the inlet baffle the pipe can be snaked from inside the house. Remove the toilet that is closest to the septic tank and run the snake down the pipe. After the pipe is cleared, you will need to determine the cause of the clog.

If there is water running back from the drainfield or mound during pumping, it is likely that the clog was caused by the failing drainfield and elevated tank levels. If the tank levels were not elevated the cause of the clog could be improper pipe pitch or a sagging pipe. This can be determined by having the inlet pipe video scoped. A plumber can run a video camera down the pipe to determine if there are any sags that wastewater pools in.

The plumber can use a transit level to determine the pitch of the pipe between the home and the septic tank. Sags or improper pitch need to be corrected by excavating the inlet pipe for its length and setting the proper pitch. If the inlet or outlet baffle is missing or broken it should be repaired or replaced. If you cannot reach the inlet baffle or outlet baffle from outside of the tank you should hire a professional to make the repair. The repair will need to be made from inside the tank.

Septic tanks contain deadly hydrogen sulfide gas. A person can be overwhelmed in seconds from this gas and cause immediate death.

The professional will take proper precautionary measures and don protective breathing gear while inside the septic tank. If there is run-back from the drainfield or mound during pumping it is likely that the clog was caused by a failing drainfield or mound. As we started with, do not panic!

Am I On My Own?

It may seem like you are alone when you get the news from the contractor, but you are not. There are over twenty million septic systems across the US and about 10% of these systems fail each year. So, each day about 5,000 of your fellow homeowners get the same news, and it is not good. The cost of replacing a septic system varies by state, county, and site conditions. If you are lucky and just need to replace the drain field with a conventional stone and pipe system, you might need only to spend $15,000.

If you are a bit unlucky and the site conditions require the installation of a mound system, the bill may be $50,000. And the potential cost limit does not stop there, in some states and site conditions we have had customers quoted $100,000 for a complete replacement system. Regardless of what you have been quoted, there is a cost-effective alternative called septic aeration.

Septic Aeration FAQ

What is Aeration?

Aeration is the process that introduces air (oxygen) into a septic tank. The activity promotes the growth of aerobic bacteria to digest the waste matter in the septic tank. This process ultimately breaks down the organic material carbon dioxide and some bio-solids. This allows the wastewater to flow more freely through the leach field and prevents it from backing up or coming out of household drains. It will also minimize odor problems by eliminating anaerobic bacterial decomposition in the holding tank.

How Does Aeration Work?

Aeration involves pumping a prescribed amount of air into your septic tank in a controlled manner. Aero-Stream has patented and perfected the process over the past 20+ years. Our process uses a diffuser assembly that efficiently transfers oxygen into the wastewater yet allows the solids to settle to the bottom of the tank. To enhance the process efficiency, our Bio-Brush® is deployed into the tank. The Bio-brush acts as a filter and a nesting spot for aerobic bacteria. As the wastewater moves past the Bio-Brush, the organic material is caught in the bristles. The aerobic bacteria are attached to the bristles and devour the organic material swiftly.

What are the Benefits of Septic Aeration?

A conventional anaerobic septic system is designed to fail. It is not a matter of if it will fail, but when will it fail. The average anaerobic septic system will fail in 15 – 20 years. The life expectancy can range from 5 years to 40 years depending on site conditions, how well it was designed and installed, and how it was used or abused. The term “septic system failure” is generally used to describe a homeowner’s dilemma. The actual description of the failure occurs in the drainfield about 99% of the time. Modern tanks and piping systems are very robust and rarely fail. By design, an anaerobic septic system only does about 40% of the wastewater treatment in the septic tank.

This means that the drainfield and the soil need to perform 60% of the wastewater cleaning. This anaerobic digestion that continues to occur in the soil forms what is called a bio-mat. The bio-mat is a living organism and lives off the organic material coming from the septic tank. Eventually the bio-mat clogs the soil pours and does not allow the wastewater to migrate downward through the soil. When this happens, the homeowner will experience wastewater pooling in the yard, slow flushing and gurgling toilets, or backups into the house.

When the system is converted to an aerobic environment utilizing septic aeration, 90% of the wastewater treatment is completed in the tank. This means that the drainfield and the soil only need to do 10% of the work. The huge reduction of organic material flowing to the drainfield begins to starve the bio-mat of a food source. Like any living organism in nature, it starves and dies allowing the soil to become permeable again. Additionally, aerobic bacteria and oxygen-rich water flows to the drainfield and further devour the bio-mat.

Septic Aeration Costs

The cost of septic aeration depends on a variety of factors, including the size of your tank and its location. The average price for an aeration system is around $1800, though this number can vary depending on where you live and what type of system you have. If you have an undersized tank or drainfield you should expect to spend a little bit more as you will need higher output treatment capacity to compensate for the undersized system.

Repair Options

If your septic system has failed, there are only a couple of repair options. The repairs include:

• Septic system replacement
• Septic aeration

These are the only two options that will successfully resolve your septic system failure. There are hundreds of companies that sell “Special bacteria” and claim to restore your system. We have evaluated many of these products in the field and in a controlled environment. These remedies do nothing other than make the homeowner feel good that they are doing something to resolve their problem. We call these “Flush and Hope” products. Just flush them down the drain and hope that they will work. In reality, all you are doing is flushing your money down the drain!

New Environmentally Friendly Alternatives To Septic Repair

As your septic system is failing, there are new alternatives to septic repair that are environmentally friendly. Septic aeration is a more cost-effective option than septic replacement and it is a more environmentally friendly solution than replacement.

The main reason for replacing a failed septic system is because of the environmental impact of an overflowing or plugged up leach field. With septic aeration you can avoid this by simply treating your leach field with aerobically treated wastewater instead of digging up the entire system and replacing it with an expensive new one!

Conclusion

If you are tired of spending money on septic repair, there are options that can save you time and money. Aeration systems by Aero-Stream are a great alternative to traditional replacement and can be installed in most existing systems with minimal disruption.

Aerobic wastewater treatment uses oxygen to break down organic contaminants and other pollutants like nitrogen and phosphorus. A mechanical aeration device continuously adds oxygen (air) to the wastewater or sewage, such as an air blower or compressor. Aerobic bacteria then devour the organic material in the wastewater, converting it to carbon dioxide and biomass, which may then be collected.

Due to the oxygen requirements of these organisms, aerobic systems are expected to have a means of supplying oxygen in the form of air onto the biomass. Examples include wastewater treatment ponds, which work by creating a large surface area for the introduction of air to the wastewater, together with some sort of a mechanical aeration device. This explains why quite a number of wastewater treatments are carried out in open tanks and ponds.

Depending on the wastewater’s chemical composition and the requirements for the effluent, a biological wastewater treatment system may consist of a number of different techniques and microorganisms. There are other treatment options available, but for now, let us focus on aerobic treatment.

To maintain proper growth rates in a wastewater treatment plant for the variety of microbial communities in the biomass, they will also require particular operational procedures that will vary depending on the environment. For instance, it’s typical to need to keep a close eye and adjust aeration in order to maintain a constant dissolved level of oxygen in order to keep the system’s bacteria growing at the best rate to fulfill discharge criteria.

Remember, these are aerobic bacteria, which means that they rely on oxygen for their survival. In an onsite residential treatment system, the influent is much less variable so the ATU manufacturer will design the system to work well in all conditions.

In addition to dissolved oxygen, municipal wastewater treatment plants’ biological systems frequently require adjustments for load, flow, temperature, PH, and nutrients. When it comes to harmonizing a number of system components, the biological therapy process can get incredibly intricate. All these variables must be maintained at optimum levels to ensure that the biological system is operating at its best. Again, in a residential ATU environment, no adjustment is required as the ATU designs are very robust.

Some examples of aerobic wastewater treatment systems include  fixed-bed bioreactors (FBBRs), activated sludge, biological trickling filters, and membrane bioreactors (MBRs) as explained below;

What Varieties Of Aerobic Treatment Of Wastewater Systems Are There?

There are numerous technologies available for the aerobic treatment of wastewater and sewage. The choice of the one to use often falls on the user. However, there are several aspects that should be considered before the selection of an aerobic wastewater treatment system. The consideration of these systems puts you in a better position to make the most informed decision;

Here are a few examples:

• Conventional activated sludge: In traditional activated sludge, aerobic bacteria in the tank (aeration tank) break down organic waste. In a sedimentation tank, the generated biological sludge or flocs are separated from the purified water.
• Moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR): In a moving bed biofilm reactor, biofilm develops on plastics that suspend and circulate in an aeration tank (MBBR). These are kept in the aeration tank using retention sieves.
• Membrane bioreactor (MBR): A state-of-the-art method that combines membrane filtration and activated sludge processes.

What Does The Aerobic Treatment Of Wastewater Accomplish?

Industrial effluent that has already undergone anaerobic treatment is typically polished with aerobic treatment. By doing so, it is ensured that the wastewater has completely degraded and may also be disposed of safely in accordance with environmental regulations. A wide range of industries, including the food and beverage, chemical, and municipal sectors, can use aerobic treatment methods. The system is also popularly used in homes. The increasing popularity of this method is attributed to the numerous benefits associated with it. They include;

Costs and Benefits

The treated water (waste) is recycled for use in outdoor irrigation by an aerobic treatment unit (ATU), which collects and treats wastewater leaving homes. ATUs are currently being installed in newly built homes as well as in the United States to replace always-failing septic systems (USEPA, 2000). Only when the site and soil conditions preclude the use of more straightforward systems, like septic fields, is ATU chosen.

In comparison to conventional septic systems, homebuilders get the idea of relieving themselves of outdoor irrigation expenses to be an appealing benefit of an aerobic treatment system. Because ATU requires less yard space and permits homes to be built closer together than septic systems, developers and homebuilders may prefer their installation over septic systems (OEDQ, ASUS). The suitability of ATU installation services for bad-quality clay or extremely sandy soils is another major benefit.

ATU installation expenses are expensive initially, however they decrease over time (ODEQ, ASUS) (ODEQ, ASUS). In 2015, prices for brand-new residential ATU installations ranged between $5,500 and $5,700; these prices included a 2-year guarantee and four routine inspections. A service agreement for a year would cost $150 to $225. An ATU inspection would set you back $190.

After installation, ATU must be serviced and maintained for two years by a licensed installer (ODEQ, 2012). (ODEQ, 2012). For the first two years following installation, the licensed installer will pay all maintenance expenses, excluding whatever sums the homeowner and the installer have agreed upon in a written contract.

The homeowner (ATU owner/operator) or a renewed or newly contracted certified maintenance firm must carry out the maintenance and operation requirements once an ATU has been installed and maintained by a certified installer for two years. Sludge cleanup could be one of the ongoing expenses paid for by the homeowner (owner/operator). The cost of employing the proper disposal methods as well as hiring a qualified professional to remove the sludge from the pre-treatment tank is the responsibility of the homeowner. The frequency of the sludge removal method should be determined by the loading rate and size capacities of every system (ATU).

The aerobic treatment system has had its impact especially in conserving the environment. The use of aerobic water treatment systems is projected to increase over the coming years. This trend will be attributed to the increasing knowledge of its operation as well as the benefits associated with its use. The Aero-Stream Eco-Nest ATU product is very efficient and stable. It is also significantly less expensive than other ATUs on the market.

Identifying The Problem

The first step in fixing your septic system is to identify the problem. You should know where it is, what caused it, and whether or not it is serious. A call to Aero-Stream®at (877) 254-7093 will be able to help you with this. If you are unsure about any of these things, call (877) 254-7093.

• First off, determine where the problem is by identifying its location and checking for leaks or damage (if there are not any).
• Is there water pooling in the yard? Is it near the septic tank or near the drainfield?
• Find out what caused the problem by determining how long ago it occurred; if you cannot remember exactly when something happened, look back through old bills or receipts for clues about when replacements were made on other parts of your house (like windows).
• Check for cracks around pipes leading into joints between sections of pipe—the cause may be due to ground movement which occurs during earthquakes (if there are frequent tremors nearby) or heavy rainstorms that swell up pipes while they are full like water balloons filled past capacity (which could happen anywhere). These two scenarios would also explain why new homes built on top of older ones often experience problems with their plumbing systems because builders usually do not dig deep enough when installing them; thusly causing cracks in pipes later down the line once their foundations settle down into place over time

Septic Tank Problems

There are several common problems that can occur with a septic tank. One of the most common is the overloading of the system. This occurs when too many people are using the septic system at one time, or when there is too much water going into it. As a result, sewage may overflow into your yard and surrounding area. This can cause serious health issues for you and your family if it is not taken care of immediately. If you had the same amount of people living in the home and this issue was not occurring, then there is something wrong with the drainfield.

Septic Tank Pump Problems

One of the most common causes of septic system failure is lack of maintenance. The septic tank effluent pump should be replaced every 5-7 years, depending on how much water it pumps and how often it is used. The pump is usually a submersible pump located in the final chamber near the leach field or absorption area, but occasionally it can be an external pump that sits above ground level. It should be checked at least once every 3 months to ensure proper operation and avoid any serious issues down the road due to clogged pipes or other problems with solids removal.

Septic System Leach Field Problems

The leach field is a series of pipes buried in the ground that carries wastewater out of your home and into the soil. The bacteria break down waste so it can be absorbed into the soil. If you have problems with your septic system, it is due to an issue with your leach field. The drainfield goes through a natural aging process. As it ages it grows what is called a biomat at the infiltrative surface of the field.

The infiltrative surface is at the bottom of the field where the stone meets the native soil. The biomat slows the flow of water out of the field. Eventually, the water stops flowing downward altogether and begins to move laterally through the side walls of the field. The sidewalls of the field get clogged with biomat starting at the bottom of the drainfield. The water begins to saturate the stone and slowly the biomat continues to grow upward.

The biomat reaches the grassy area above the field and the sewage water begins to pond on the surface of your yard. The standard solution is to call a contractor to install a new drainfield. This is an awfully expensive solution and will cost $15,000 – $40,000 or more depending on where you live. Aero-Stream® has a patented solution to reverse the aging of the drainfield that will only cost a couple of thousand dollars. Our solution can be installed by any homeowner in about an hour.

What is this amazing product? It is called aerobic remediation. Aero-Stream® pioneered This process over 20 years ago and it has been used around the world to reverse the aging of septic systems. We have tens of thousands of remediation systems installed around the world. Call Aero-Stream® for a free technical review of your issue.

The First Step To Fixing Any Septic System Problem Is Figuring Out Where The Problem Is.

The first step to fixing any septic system problem is figuring out where the problem is. That means identifying what has gone wrong with your septic tank, leach field and/or drainfield.

Let us start with the obvious: if you are having trouble flushing or if your home smells like sewage, then you should consider a clogged toilet or drain as one of your first suspects in the case of foul odor. This can be caused by items such as baby wipes and feminine hygiene products. Clogs are easy to fix but may require some tools depending on what caused them in the first place—so do not panic! If the toilet gurgles and is slow to flush that indicates that the tank is too full. Therefore, you will need to open the septic tank and inspect the septic tank levels. If the levels are too high, this would indicate that the pipe leaving the tank towards the field is either clogged or the drainfield is saturated and there is no place for the sewage water to go.

Septic System Problems

Within the watershed is an estimated 4,000 septic systems. These septic system designs can vary dramatically. These systems can be made of make-shift components such as metal drums to fully engineered and professionally installed systems following the latest EPA guidelines. Obviously, the more modern the design the better the system will treat the wastewater as it moves into the soil and water table.

There is a contingency in the watershed that believes that the only way to solve the potential wastewater pollution source is to install “The Big Pipe” and transport all of the wastewater to a central treatment system. The downside to the central treatment system is the amount of time to get the project approved and implemented and the cost of the project. A project of this magnitude will take years for the engineering and approval work to be completed. And then there is the cost. A system of this size has an estimated cost of $130,000,000, which is over $30,000 per household.

In addition, there will be annual fees levied on the homeowners to operate and maintain the centralized treatment plant. If you are one of the unlucky homeowners faced with a septic system replacement now you will be paying twice that amount! A new septic system will cost $25,000 – $30,000. When the sewer line is available at your property you will be required to abandon the system that is a few years old and pay the $30,000 connection fee to the sewer.

Distribution Box – Clear Effluent Flowing to the Drain Field!

Keeping Higgins Lake pristine should not be as expensive and as difficult as the engineering firms describe it. Aero-Stream has developed and patented an aerobic treatment process that converts a conventional septic system into a very efficient aerobic treatment system. These products have been available to homeowners for more than 20 years.

These systems start at just over $800 with the Pro Line model at just over $2,000. A conventional septic system does only 40% of the work in the septic tank, relying on the soil to do 60% of the work. In the soil is where the nutrients can flow into the lake and cause pollution.

After the system is converted to aerobic treatment with the Aero-Stream system, contaminants can be reduced by 80% -95% in the tank requiring the soil to do much less cleansing. Third-party testing reveals that TKN nitrogen is typically reduced by about 30% and fecal coli by as much as 97%.

The installation of an Aero-Stream remediation system typically takes an hour or less for the average homeowner. There is no extensive excavation. Within 24 hours of installation, the system is discharging clean effluent to the soil treatment system. If your system is already failing it will repair the field or drywell improving its performance to a like-new condition. These systems are also available through retailers branded as the Septic System Saver.

If you are installing a new system with the goal of keeping Higgins Lake Pristine you may want to consider our NSF 40 Eco-Nest ATU. Your installer can contact us for details.

Conclusion

Keeping Higgins Lake Pristine does not need to be complicated or expensive! The centralized wastewater treatment system is going to use the same aerobic process to treat the wastewater as the Aero-Stream system does, but the centralized solution will cost each homeowner more than 20X the cost! additionally, the installation of the centralized sewer system will require significant excavation. This will destroy your landscaping and lead to increased run-off potential.

Introduction

A septic tank is a buried container that holds domestic wastewater to reduce the risk of contamination. Septic tanks are usually made of concrete, fiberglass, or plastic and are located underground. They contain a series of chambers that hold anaerobic bacteria and enzymes that break down solid waste into sludge at the bottom of the tank. The wastewater then exits through perforated pipe into a drain field, which is an area away from any bodies of water or sources of drinking water where the soil can absorb it safely for treatment by nature’s elements.

A septic tank is placed at the end of a drain pipe in a home or building that is not connected to a city’s sewer system.

A septic tank is buried underground and placed at the end of a drainpipe in a home or building that is not connected to a city’s sewer system. Septic tanks are usually made of concrete, fiberglass, or plastic, and they are usually rectangular in shape.

The septic tank contains bacteria and enzymes, which break down solid waste into sludge at the bottom of the tank and allow wastewater to flow out into a drainage field.

You may be wondering what the septic tank is, and how it works. The septic tank contains bacteria and enzymes, which break down solid waste into sludge at the bottom of the tank and allow wastewater to flow out into a drainage field.

The septic system consists of four parts:

• a buried concrete or plastic drainfield (also called leaching bed) where effluent from your home percolates into the soil.
• a wastewater treatment plant that treats sewage from your house before it goes back into the groundwater.
• an underground pipe connecting these two components; and
• valves for controlling flow between them if desired.

Septic tanks should be pumped every three to five years, depending on the size of the tank itself and the amount of use it receives.

• You should pump your septic tank every three to five years, depending on the size of the tank itself and the amount of use it receives.
• The frequency at which you should pump a septic tank depends on three main factors: the size of your home, the number of people living in it, and how often you use your system (if you live in an area with extremely hard water, for example). For instance, if you have a large family and extensively use all your appliances (including washing machines), then it is likely that pumping more frequently would be necessary.

The size of the septic tank you need depends on average daily water use, the number of people living in your home, and the size of your home’s plumbing system.

The size of septic tank you need depends on average daily water use, the number of people living in your home, and the size of your home’s plumbing system. If you have a family of four or more, you will need a larger septic tank than someone who lives alone or has children that only visit occasionally.

If you have three bathrooms in your house, then it is likely that each bathroom uses about five gallons per minute (GPM). So, if there are three bathrooms and one shower stall that uses around 10 GPM on average with both faucets running at once—and since we are talking about an average usage—then you could estimate that each person uses about 15 GPM per day for flushing toilets and washing hands/faces/etcetera. This means that if there are eight people living in a 3-bathroom home with two showers operating simultaneously in one bathroom one day per week (or 14 days out of 30), then they would use approximately 150 GPM annually!

Proper maintenance of your septic system prevents health risks from contaminated soil, protects groundwater, and limits pollution from household products sent into septic systems.

Proper maintenance of your septic system prevents health risks from contaminated soil, protects groundwater, and limits pollution from household products sent into septic systems.

Septic tank owners are responsible for maintaining their systems, so they continue to work properly. Systems with improper maintenance can fail or become unstable over time, leading to the accumulation of waste matter in the soil around your home. If this happens, then it becomes exceedingly difficult to maintain healthy living conditions on your property in terms of environmental contaminants that can lead to illness or other problems (such as noxious odors).

Portable toilet tanks are designed so that waste can be collected and removed for disposal by a sanitation service, without having to pump out larger septic tanks.

If you are thinking about getting a portable toilet tank, here are some things to consider:

• Portable toilet tanks are designed so that waste can be collected and removed for disposal by a sanitation service, without having to pump out larger septic tanks.
• Septic tanks should be pumped every three to five years, depending on the size of the tank itself and the amount of use it receives.

Septic systems consist of two main parts: a septic tank and a drain field.

A septic system consists of two main parts: a septic tank and a drain field. The septic tank is an underground chamber that holds wastewater, allowing it to be broken down by naturally occurring bacteria. The drain field is a series of perforated pipes buried in soil through which the treated wastewater passes from the septic tank. It breaks down further as it travels through this piping, but some groundwater will also be drawn into these pipes through absorption by capillary action and may eventually make its way back out into the environment via evaporation or infiltration into surrounding soils.

Allowing your leach field (which is connected to your home’s drainfield) to become clogged with debris can result in sewage backing up inside your home or leaking out into areas near your home—a major health hazard! This can cause substantial damage as well as create an unpleasant odor around your property if left untreated for too long!

A septic system drainfield has a useful service life of about 15 – 20 years. Some fail in less than 10 years and others will last 30 years. All these septic tank systems will eventually fail. When the drainfield does fail do not dig it up and replace it. You can install an Aero-Stream remediation system and reverse the ageing process and make the drainfield work like new. This can be accomplished for only a fraction of the cost of replacement. And we guarantee to fix your septic system drainfield.

A septic system is an underground chamber made of concrete, fiberglass, or plastic through which domestic wastewater flows for basic treatment. The wastewater first goes to a primary settling tank where heavy particles settle to the bottom and float on top of the liquid. The liquid then flows into a secondary chamber called a clarifier, where it is treated with bacteria that break down other solid particles that may be present in the water before it discharges into the soil through a leach field.

Conclusion

A septic tank is an underground chamber made of concrete, fiberglass, or plastic through which domestic wastewater flows for basic treatment. Septic tanks consist of two main parts: a septic tank and a drain field. The tank is the holding area for sewage where organic matter settles to the bottom and decomposes. The drain field consists of pipes that carry waste from your home into the ground where it can be treated naturally by bacteria living in the soil surrounding them.

Introduction

A septic system is one of the most important components of your home. If you do not have one, you know someone who does and has had to deal with a septic tank that has not been maintained well over time. And if your system is working properly, it will serve as an integral part of your daily life for many years to come. The trick is knowing how to keep it working like new!

That’s where we come in: We’ll explain why septic tanks gurgle, what causes slow draining fixtures such as toilets or showers, why sewage gas odors may emanate from your home (and how to get rid of them), and signs that indicate wet spots in yards or other soggy areas are caused by problems with drain fields or drain pipes around homes.”

Gurgling Sounds After Using Fixtures

You may hear septic tank noises after using the toilet, shower, or washing machine. These noises are a problem with your septic tank. You should still check for any of the following:

• Your septic tank is full. It is possible that wastewater has backed up into your home due to a clog in the drain field or pipe leading into your house. If this happens, call us immediately so we can determine the cause!
• Your septic system is not working well because it is too small for how many people live in your home (usually around 2–3 people). You’ll need to call us to determine if this is indeed the case before making an investment in either expanding or replacing it entirely—but talking about these issues as early as possible will help you budget accordingly and avoid unpleasant surprises later down the road.”

“If there’s nothing wrong with your septic tank itself, but you’re still hearing noises after using the toilet, shower, or washing machine then it could be because of a blockage somewhere else in your plumbing system. This can happen if there are tree roots growing into pipes underground, or even just sediment buildup over time that makes it difficult for water to flow down through them properly. If this is happening, then call up local plumbers and have them come out for an inspection so that they can

Slow Draining Faucets and Showers

If you hear septic tank gurgling sounds, or slow draining faucets and showers, it may be time to call our septic experts. This can indicate that your septic system needs attention.

Toilet Keeps Bubbling/Gurgling

If you hear your toilet bubbling or gurgling, it could be due to a clog in the line. This could be caused by sanitary wipes, feminine hygiene products, etc. Try plunging the toilet first to see if this will dislodge whatever is causing the problem. If not, try using an auger that attaches to your drain and remove any debris.

If you do not do anything about it soon enough and it overflows back into your house through the floor drains or under-sink plumbing – then clean-up can become quite messy! You may also notice that there is a terrible odor coming from behind those walls which means there has been leakage down into other areas of the house such as closets or basement spaces where mold can grow quickly on wet surfaces making them unhealthy places for living (especially for children who might go exploring later).

The best way to avoid these problems altogether would be raising awareness before they begin – educating yourself about proper maintenance techniques so that when something does happen (like seeing bubbles rise up while flushing) then tools like these are already available in case anyone needs help figuring out how exactly how long ago their tank got full last time around.”

Sewage Gas Odor in Home

Some of the most common reasons for septic tank and drain field problems include:

• Aging pipes or tanks. Septic systems can last from 10 to 20 years, depending on their size, how well they are maintained, and other factors.
• A decrease in the amount of wastewater entering the system. This may be caused by a reduction in household size (e.g., empty nesters), reduced use due to vacations, or simply not flushing as much as usual (perhaps because you are sick).
• Too much water entering the system—for example, due to heavy rains or floods that cause infiltration into your home’s drains outside (or even inside!) of your property line(s).

If your system is older, it is possible that the tank or drain field is simply no longer working properly. In this case, you may need to get a pump-out and have the tank replaced or repaired. A pump-out involves using a vacuum pump mounted on a truck to remove all its contents to remove any solids that have accumulated inside over time.

Wet Spots in the Yard or a Soggy Area

If you have a wet spot in the yard and do not know why, or if your soggy area is growing larger, it is due to one of these reasons:

• Your septic tank is not properly draining. This could be caused by a clogged drain field, which can be repaired with an auger (a tool used for clearing drains). It is likely to be caused by a mature bio-mat in the drainfield that is not allowing the wastewater to absorb into the ground.
• Your septic tank is not properly installed or designed for your household size. You may need to upgrade from an older system with a smaller capacity than you require due to population growth over time.
• Your pipes are leaking into the ground because they weren’t installed correctly and have deteriorated over time due to weather conditions like heavy rainstorms; this issue would require repair work done on both the pipe leaks as well as repairing any nearby damage caused by flooding before moving forward into more permanent solutions such as installing new pipes completely around existing ones.*These three solutions can fix problems caused either by incorrect installation methods used during construction stages of building new homes – especially where these houses were built without proper planning ahead – or just general wear-and-tear over many years until something breaks down enough that repairs are required immediately instead of waiting until later down the road when things get worse than expected!

A septic tank is not properly draining. Septic tanks can be clogged or soggy due to organic material such as leaves, hair, and soap scum building up inside the pipes. If you see any of these signs in your yard after a heavy rainstorm, then it is time to call us so we can troubleshoot your system.

Conclusion

If you are hearing a gurgling sound in your septic tank or have noticed that your toilet is bubbling, then it may be time to call the experts at Aero-Stream. Do not try to solve this problem on your own as there are many dangers involved when working with sewage lines.

Introduction

The septic system is one of the most important components of your home. It’s also one of the least understood. If you’ve ever wondered how to repair a septic tank or drainfield, then this guide will help. In it, we will walk you through identifying what is wrong with your system and going over some simple steps to repair it.

A septic system is a major investment, so it pays to do whatever you can to keep it in good working order.

A septic system is a major investment, so it pays to do whatever you can to keep it in good working order. Unfortunately, your septic system is not designed to last forever. The average lifespan of a standard septic tank is about 15 – 20 years, and after that point, you will typically need to replace the whole thing.

If you do not want to spend thousands of dollars on an entirely new system (or if you do not have the space for one), there are still some things that can be done to prolong your old one and avoid breaking down completely. Aero-Stream has a low-cost solution to repair your drainfield that is guaranteed.

If your septic system is broken, there is no need to panic.

If your septic system is broken, there is no need to panic. Just like any other system in your house, septic tanks and drain fields can break down over time.

While it is great to know what to do when this happens, it is equally important to understand why this happens in the first place. When the tank fills with wastewater (the liquid that leaves your home through drains), it separates into two layers: sludge at the bottom and scum on top (a mixture of grease and food particles). These layers settle into distinct phases due to their different densities; when this happens in an overloaded tank or if there is a lack of “aeration” (when air passes through water). Bacteria will eventually begin breaking down these solids—which can cause odors if they’re not removed regularly by cleaning out filters regularly—and produce gases like methane as part of the biodegradation process.

Only about 40% of the organic material is digested in the septic tank. The balance of 60% of the work is completed in the drainfield by anaerobic bacteria. These anaerobic bacteria create a protective slimy coating. The combination of the anaerobic bacteria and its slimy coating is called the bio-mat. Over time the bio-mat matures and clogs the soil pores so the wastewater cannot flow through it. This causes backups in the tank, pooling wastewater above the drainfield or above the tank. Aero-Stream patented restoration process will reverse the aging by eliminating the bio-mat and allow the system to work like new again.

The first step in repairing a septic system is identifying the problem.

Identifying the problem that is causing the septic system not to work properly can be tricky. The first step in repairing your septic system is identifying what exactly is going on. If you notice any of these signs, it could mean that there is a problem with your septic system, and you should contact Aero-Stream to help identify where the issue lies:

• Leaks or odors coming from under the ground or around your home
• Backup of wastewater coming out into drains, toilets, and laundry tubs

If you are unsure if this is an issue with your home’s plumbing or septic system, call for help from someone who knows what they are doing!

Next, decide whether you want to hire a professional or make the repairs yourself.

Now that you know what is wrong with the system, it is time to decide whether to hire a pro or make the repairs yourself. If you are going to do it yourself, be prepared by knowing what tools and supplies you will need and where your septic tank is located (so you can get at it easily). Our knowledgeable staff of septic experts can guide you through the repair so you can do the work yourself and save tens-of-thousands of dollars.

If you are going to make a repair on your own, you will need to understand how your septic system works before planning.

If you are going to make a repair on your own, you will need to understand how your septic system works before making a plan. You will also need to know where your septic tank is located and what supplies and tools you will need. Call our experts and we will guide you through the process.

You will also need to know where your septic tank is located before beginning any work on it.

You will also need to know where your septic tank is located before beginning any work on it. There are several ways you can find the location of your septic tank:

• Look at a property map of your home or property. If you have an aerial view of the property, you may be able to see where the tanks are located based on the surface area, they occupy in relation to other structures such as buildings and water features like swimming pools and ponds.
• Ask a local property inspector or septic system service company for help locating the tank(s).
• Use a sewer scope to look for pipes leading into or away from drain fields near areas that seem candidates for being a septic tank (e.g., areas close enough together that could serve as wastewater treatment plants in groups). You may need someone who knows how this works better than you do so they can guide you through each step—it’s not something that most people would think about doing themselves!

After assessing what needs to be done, determine what supplies and tools you’ll need.

• Tools
• Supplies
• Safety equipment
• Gloves that you don’t mind getting dirty or stained (such as rubber gloves), safety glasses or goggles, safety boots, and face shield if necessary

Do not drive over your septic tank cover with heavy vehicles after it has been repaired or replaced.

Do not drive over your septic tank cover with heavy vehicles after it has been repaired or replaced. A new cover will be more resilient than the original and may bend under a vehicle’s weight, but it can still be damaged.

Conclusion

With this guide and some care, you can repair a broken septic tank or drainfield by yourself. If you have been through all the steps above and still do, not feel comfortable with the repair job, it is best to call Aero-Stream for free technical support.

Septic systems are a fantastic way to dispose of your household waste. They are easy to install and maintain, they do not require a lot of space, and they can even be used in areas where it would be difficult or expensive to get waste disposal service.

Unfortunately, most septic systems fail. If you live in an area where the soil is particularly sandy your system should last 20 years or more. If you live in an area with clay-like soil, then your system fails in 10 – 15 years

While most people think that a sewer is better than system self-contained septic system because they use less space and they cost less to operate this is not always true.

Anaerobic Septic Systems

An anaerobic septic system is a septic system that may not have been working well for a number of years. The wastewater escaping from the failed septic system causes an accumulation of toxic gas which can be lethal if inhaled. The source of the problem may be from a variety of causes, including failing components and/or improper design.

In some cases, anaerobic septic systems cannot be repaired. However, installing an Aero-Stream remediation system can reverse the failure of the septic system and return it to a fully functional system for about 10% of the cost of replacement.

Anaerobic (without oxygen) septic systems fail because they no longer effectively treat wastewater that flows through them with bacteria and other microorganisms to break down solid wastes into harmless byproducts before being discharged into the ground. When this happens, decomposition is limited by lack of oxygen; it becomes anaerobic instead of aerobic (like in aerobic compost piles).

Anoxic conditions favor some types of harmful bacteria over others; these produce unpleasant odors as well as other toxins such as hydrogen sulfide gas which can escape into your home’s indoor air if there are cracks or openings in your system pipes or drains outside where odors escape when you flush toilets indoors!

The failure process takes place over several years but usually begins when one component fails then others follow until eventually, all parts need replacement if repair attempts fail – making replacement costs extremely high due to labor downtime plus materials needed for repairs.”

Signs Of A Failing Septic System

The first sign of a failing septic system is slow drainage from the septic tank. Slow draining water can be rarely caused by roots growing through your drainfield, which allows waste products to flow over them instead of into the drainfield. It is more likely that the bio-matt in the drainfield has matured and not allowed the water to absorb into the ground. If this happens for an extended period, it could result in anaerobic conditions forming in your leach field and causing a backup in your plumbing system or sewage coming up through drains inside or outside around the septic tank and drainfield areas.

If you notice any of these signs, it is important to call Aero-Stream as soon as possible so we can troubleshoot your system and determine which areas that need attention.

Anaerobic Septic Systems May Cause The Following Problems

• Slow drainage out the septic tank. If a large amount of food scraps or other material is put down the drain, it can plug up your plumbing and slow down your drainage. This can result in backed-up drains and sewage backing up through toilets and drains located inside your home.
• Odors inside the house or outside around septic tank and drainfield areas. Anaerobic bacteria produce gases that are unpleasant smelling, so if anaerobic conditions exist in your system, you may have an odor problem to deal with!

Slow Drainage Into The Septic Tank

• Your septic tank field may not have enough capacity to disperse the wastewater. You can check this by filling up your toilet and timing how long it takes before the water levels in the tank return to normal. If it is more than five minutes, then you should consider calling Aero-Stream to troubleshoot your system
• The septic tank may be full of sludge and debris that will not allow water to drain out of it quickly enough when flushing a toilet or using other appliances in your home that use water (such as washing machines). This can be remedied by having an experienced professional come in and clean out any blockages or clogs within the system so that they do not build up again later down the road after the installation has already taken place successfully without any issues occurring during testing procedures done prior thereto.

Backup In Plumbing System Or Sewage In Building Drains

If you have a backup in your plumbing system or sewage in building drains, there are several things you can do to fix the problem.

If it is a major problem with your septic tank, then you may want to hire a pumper to come out and pump the tank. If it is more minor, then here are some steps for how to fix them:

• Clear the inlet baffle and the outlet baffle of debris using a long pole. Never enter a septic tank to make repairs as deadly conditions exist.

Odors Inside The House Or Outside Around Septic Tank And Drainfield Areas

• If you smell an unpleasant odor from the drainfield, this means that the anaerobic bacteria in your septic tank are not doing their job anymore and it is time for professional help.
• If you smell an unpleasant odor from the septic tank alone, this can be caused by poor access to air. You may need to open your septic tank for proper inspection when removing material from inside it.
• If you notice a bad odor coming from around the building drain or from inside the house around any drains (i.e., kitchen sink or bathtub), but don’t find evidence of leaks on these pipes outside, then there is likely something causing problems with these types of plumbing fixtures inside your home—usually due to toilet wax rings leaking air, leaking vent pipes, clogs or corrosion issues with these pipes themselves which allow them to leak wastewater into other areas where they shouldn’t be leaking at all!

In Most Cases, Anaerobic Septic Systems Can Be Repaired Using Aerobic Remediation

The following are some of the reasons for this:

• The septic tank rarely fails because they are made of durable material.
• The septic field is clogged with Bio-mat, which can be removed using an aerobic bacteria process.
• The septic field lines are made of durable materials and do not commonly fail.
• Even if the system was designed with a small capacity that does not meet the household’s needs; the aerobic process will manage two times or more the wastewater flow and still function well

Conclusion On Anaerobic Septic Systems
