Septic maintenance is very important for over 30 percent of Americans that have homes with conventional septic systems. Even with the best care problems occur. The worse problem is disposal field failure. The average expected age of a disposal field, a component of all septic systems, is about 20 to 25 years.

We have over 50 years of experience with wastewater treatment and septic systems. We have dealt with septic system design, installation, upkeep, repairs, and troubleshooting problems. We have done this work on a variety of different systems; convention systems, aerobic systems, advanced treatment units, aerobic bacteria generators (invented by us), sand filters, mounds and more. Over the years we gave the bad news that there were some costly repairs or replacements needed. Most of the problems were biological, so we knew there had to be a better way to deal with this problem. There was; to solve a biological problem, use a biological solution. We invented the Septic Genie. This is a natural, environmentally friendly process that will begin to work immediately and will continue to work for the life of your system.

The Genie will dramatically reduce the amount of septic tank maintenance you have to do. You will only need to do an annual inspection and replace the bacteria inoculum. It will only cost pennies a day to run and your average time between pumping the tank will be reduced to 10 years. This is because our special bacteria will consume all organic material in the tank, which means your septic maintenance pumping will only need to remove inorganic and non-biodegradable materials.

Our special bacteria will eat and digest the biomat that has accumulated in your drain field and soil. What causes this biomat? It is thick slime that is secreted from the bacteria that live in our digestive system. These bacteria are carried in the liquid that leaves your septic tank to your disposal field. Once they arrive in the soil surrounding your disposal field, they secrete their slime and it starts to clog the soil preventing liquid to be absorbed by the soil like it is supposed to. As the soil begins to get clogged, less liquid is absorbed by the soil. An early detection of this biomat clogging may be a foul odor coming from your plumbing fixtures. You may begin to experience backups in your home and maybe even a outbreak of septic liquid on your lawn. Once the biomat is removed by our bacteria, your flow will return to normal functioning and the odor will be gone forever.
