What breaks down sewage in a septic tank?
its a locky mckenzie when stinks really gross and bad and he is wet ======================================================== The real answer is, there is a lot of bacteria in our gut, this ends up in the septic tank were it continues to transform our toilet into harmless compost. Our solids are 70% water, the remainder is converted by the bacteria into mainly carbon dioxide and methane gases that disappear into the sky.

What could a dribbling noise be that you hear from the main floor ceiling after flushing the toilet or during the shower if there is no sign of water leakage under the toilet or shower?
If the toilet and shower are in an upper floor then there is a PVC drain for both that will drain to either the sewer or septic. If there is a vertical piece to this, as there is in my basement, then you actually get some dribbling and running sounds from the water 'falling' down that vertical PVC. I get this same noise from the washing machine on the main floor draining down to the basement.
