SeptiCare - For Your Peace Of Mind

Failing Septic Systems

If you think your septic system is failing, don't be afraid to call SeptiCare. Don't use fly by night or unlicensed contractors. Any repair to a septic system requires a permit by law and SeptiCare has great working relationships with all local health departments. Make repairs and improvements to your septic system legally to avoid problems when you try to sell your house.

SeptiCare is the local representative for the White Knight™ Microbial Inoculator/Generator. This system is designed to enhance the performance and restore biologically clogged septic absorption systems without physical replacement of the absorption area. It is generally accepted that many septic system failures are caused by "Biomat" clogging. Some estimates put the number of failing systems due to biomat clogging as high as 1 million per year nationwide.

Do you think your septic system might be failing? Tell tale signs are:

• Unexplained wet spots in your yard
• Unusual odors around your drainfield or septic tank
• Toilets that gurgle or do not flush completely
• Sewage backing up in your house

"SeptiCare did a complete inspection of my septic system and found it could be fixed easily without replacement like other companies advised. It's been working fine for more than 2-years now" Steve Henson, Nokesville, Virginia

Some septic problems can be easily corrected by pumping your septic tank. Other problems require more extensive investigation and repair and others may necessitate complete septic system replacement. Over time, the soil dispersal area can become clogged slowing the movement of wastewater into the soil. When the amount of wastewater exceeds the infiltration capacity of the soil, effluent begins to back up and can surface or back up in the house especially during the wet season.

The Commonwealth of Virginia has nearly 1 million conventional and alternative septic systems. The median age of these septic systems is approaching 25 years. More than 80% of these systems are within the Chesapeake Bay watershed. Conventional septic tank systems
