A failing septic system does not properly breakdown solids and allows excess

raw sewage to penetrate the water table you may be drawing your drinking

water from. This in turn translates in harmful bacteria entering your soil and contaminating your land and water in the future. It can also be caused by lack

of bacteria in your tank due all the household chemicals and cleaning agents that are used to kill bacteria, germ

and virus growth in your house today. Solution is to use pro-biotic additives

that add helpful bacteria that will breakdown grease, paper, soaps, detergents,

and other solids flushed down your system. Monthly treat for less than $10 is

suggested and will lengthen the life of your septic system and definitely save

time and money in the future.

How do you make a septic system stop smelling bad?

It depends on what is going on with the system. If it is operating normally and you are getting an odor out of the roof vent there are filters available that can reduce the odor. If your system is failing IE. foul smelling water coming up out of the ground call in a septic service professional. If you are getting sewerage odors in the house you should not be as they should be prevented from getting into the house by traps on each fixture in this case call a plumber.
