My septic system was in total failure before Drainteks saved my property and pulled me out of a complete disaster. My home is 25 years old. I am on a well and my soil is sandy. Patches of black sludge surfaced over the middle of my drain field, and I was having to pump my tank out every few weeks! There were bad odors inside my house. I was told that a new drain field was my only option and at a cost I could not bare to spend, it was the last thing I wanted to do. I gave it my all, crossed my fingers, and ordered 2 of the level 5 shocks to blast it back to health. I switched all our product habits from toilet paper to you-name- it to help things along. It was scary to go through the process because I did not know whether I would eventually have to dig up my property or not. The whole process took very little time, less money and headaches than having to dig up my property! I am still in a state of ever-grateful relief.

A 3 foot diameter of water pooled at the end of my leach field. It was winter and the septic tank people told me the sludge was what was causing my leach field to fail and the only way to fix it was to put in new lines. I kept trying a lot of different products but nothing worked. We gave up and put in a new drain field system the next summer. Worse move ever! It was an expensive night mare and smelly mess. The smells never went away. The contractor had no satisfactory response when we asked when we should expect the smells to go away after the septic was fixed. Our hands were tied because he did what he promised and replaced the lines. And then the drain field failed again 3 and a half years later! Fortunately, we tried your solutions! It took a while to get all the product down as everything was completely backed up. I was surprised that it was clearing up within a day and I could run the water, take a shower AND the smells were gone! Thank you Drainteks.

We were headed for a major expense when our tank started overflowing. We decided to shock it with heavy shocks of your products. We were nervous at first about waiting for a sign of improvement. It turned out to be the best thing we could ever do. We were able to stop the pump outs right away!

Remember we had so much water emerging from the drain field that it looked like a stream running downstream? After our drinking water started having a nasty sulfur smell, we stopped using the jacuzzi, limited our showers, dishwasher, and washer. We used paper plates and cups so less strain would be on the system while we were doing the shock. First, we pumped out the tank that was full of sludge. Then we shocked the system by pouring the 311 and 211 liquids through the toilets and drains. Your products brought the tank’s water level to stay below the outlet baffle. The smells disappeared right away and the soil started drying out, little by little. It was a small sacrifice to get our system back to where it should be. We have gone back to our normal habits, take long showers, do as much laundry as we want and use our dishwasher like we never had any issues. Thanks for helping giving our life back to us.

My septic system was seeping and I was told that I needed to dig in a new leach field. I replaced my D-box and it was time to change it but my leach lines were plugged up and still seeping. I went ahead with your products. I poured it directly into my D-box and all of my drains and toilets. It gave my lines the new life they needed and saved me a fortune in replacement costs.
