The presence of sewage odors inside or outside of your home is an indication that your drainage system needs to be treated/cleaned, to remove the sewage or the cause of the odors. Untreated sewage has a buildup of odorous fatty acids and methane gas. The presence of odors means that there is incomplete mounts of anaerobic bacteria in your drainage system. The anaerobic bacteria introduced by Drainteks into your drains and toilets reverse odors by breaking down the grimy solids back into the environment: into CO2, water and minerals. Check to see if your soil is wet over your drain field. If grass is discolored or greener over the drain field it can mean that the drain field is saturated with nitrogen from waste materials. Any plumbing that is blocked or sluggish in the home can be an indication that your septic system’s absorption area is clogged. The most common signs of a failing, clogged septic system are frequent pump outs, odors inside and outside of your home, septic tank that is overflowing, and water surfacing over your drain field.
