Many wonder if adding yeast to their septic system will help it? The answer is that is of very little benefit. Yeast will only break down starches which represent a small percentage of the waste in your septic tank. Adding a good bacteria like Lenzyme will cover all organic waste in your system, especially the ones that digest grease. Contact us for more info on Lenzyme Bacterias.

Adding yeast to my septic system? Yes or No?
November 30th, 2011WINTER MAINTENANCE ON SEPTIC SYSTEMS
November 17th, 2010TO PREVENT FREEZE-UPS ON YOUR SEPTIC SYSTEM OVER THE WINTER MONTHS THERE ARE SOME PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES THAT CAN BE TAKEN. FIRST, IF WE EXPERIENCE A WINTER WITH NOT MUCH SNOWFALL TO PROVIDE GOOD INSULATION TO OUR DRAINFIELDS AND TANK AREAS WE WOULD WANT TO INSULATE THOSE AREAS OURSELVES WITH MATERIAL SUCH AS LOOSE STRAW OR HAY. SECONDLY, IF YOU ARE GOING TO BE GONE FROM YOUR HOME AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME, YOU WOULD WANT TO HAVE A FRIEND OR RELATIVE RUN HOT WATER PERIODICALLY TO KEEP THINGS THAWED. AND LASTLY, A GOOD BACTERIA ADDITIVE IS ALWAYS A BENEFIT TO CREATE HEAT IN TANK. PLEASE CONTACT US IF YOU HAVE ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS REGARDING YOUR SEPTIC SYSTEM OPERATION IN THE WINTER MONTHS!
MANY ASK “DOES TOILET PAPER HARM MY SEPTIC?”
October 12th, 2010THE SOFTER THE TOILET PAPER THE MORE CHEMICALS WERE USED TO MAKE IT SOFT. THESE CHEMICALS CAN BE HARMFUL TO YOUR SYSTEM’S BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY, JUST LIKE ANTI-BACTERIAL SOAPS AND OTHER HARSH CHEMICALS ARE. PICK A BRAND THAT IS IN-BETWEEN FOR SOFTNESS. LOOK FOR A BRAND THAT STATES “SEPTIC SAFE”. THESE BRANDS ARE NORMALLY MADE WITH FEWER CHEMICALS AND ARE BETTER FOR YOUR SEPTIC SYSTEM
