Extend the Life of Your Leach Field with a Do-It-Yourself Solution

Is your leach field and septic tank starting to show signs of strain? Before thinking about replacing everything, know that restoring your leach field is often possible, quick, and far less expensive than a full replacement. Find out whether your situation can be recovered and what options are available to you.

Signs of a Potential Septic Problem

Your septic system tries to warn you when you notice any of the following:

• Your septic tank is overflowing
• Your yard is becoming waterlogged
• A foul odor is coming from the ground
• Your toilets are backing up

In these situations, restoration is still possible in most cases. Tell us about your situation and we’ll guide you to the best solution.

What to Check Before Starting a Restoration

To ensure your leach field can be restored, a few simple conditions must be met:

No trees are growing close to your leach field
No structure has been built over the leach field
The system was designed with PVC pipes and installed after 1980
The salt-based water softener backwash is diverted away from the leach field

Not sure whether your system meets these criteria? Call us or fill out the contact form.

The Solution: Restore your leach field

Your leach field works like a filter that treats the water coming from the septic tank. It traps particles, pathogens, and helps break down pollutants through soil bacteria. This process gradually leads to the filter becoming clogged, a situation that typically occurs after 15 to 25 years of use and is simply part of the system’s normal life cycle.

Just like a pool filter requires weekly backwashing, a similar process can be applied to a saturated leach field. Our innovative bio-mechanical method offers an effective way to restore your septic system and reactivate its natural treatment process.

Take Advantage of Our Simple 4-Step Approach

You start by completing a questionnaire so we can better understand your existing septic system and how it’s being used. It also helps pinpoint the cause of the issue. Household habits are examined closely. The results determine the type of intervention required and any consumption habits that may need to be corrected.

We provide a step-by-step protocol that shows you how to perform the backwashing yourself. We guide you through the process at every stage. The work is done from the pipe connecting the septic tank to the leach field. The backwashing method removes the residues clogging the field and helps control the growth of the biomat. The intervention is quick and efficient because it doesn’t require any structural changes to your septic system.

To help restore the proper function of the leach field, we supply a concentrated bacterial product that introduces effective treatment microorganisms. This step continues the cleaning process through biodegradation and helps restart the natural purification cycle.

Once the intervention is complete, we provide a maintenance protocol along with recommendations to help maximize and extend the lifespan of your septic system.
