In the beginning when your home was new, it was designed to become a continuous ecological system. Essentially, from the time you began using your septic system, you were destroying the natural bacteria that liquefies the waste in your system. Over time detergents, chlorines, bleaches and modern bacteriostats and disinfectants used to kill germs in your kitchen and bathrooms destroy the friendly bacteria your system needs to keep it operating trouble-free. It’s common knowledge that these detergents, bleaches and cleansers are so harsh, they eventually kill all the bacteria in your system and completely stagnate the flow of wastes. Result? Your ecological system is out of balance. According to recent article in the New York Times, entitled “Seeking Tranquillity and a Good Septic System”, an uncared for septic tank or cesspool is “like a time bomb waiting to go off.” Experts agree that with proper maintenance, your septic thank can be returned to a balanced state with the correct bacteria levels, and septic system problems can be avoided.
