The Enviro-Septic® system is the only system today that has the ability to be quickly rejuvenated in place in the ground. All systems can fail; leaky fixtures, groundwater infiltration, misuse and other factors all can contribute to failure. This page covers procedures for rejuvenating failing systems and explains how to expand existing systems.
Definition: failing system
System failures, almost without exception, are related to the conversion of bacteria from an aerobic to an anaerobic state. Flooding, improper venting, alteration or improper depth of soil, sudden use changes, introduction of chemicals or medicines, and a variety of other conditions can contribute to this phenomenon.
Rejuvenating failing systems
Failing Enviro-Septic® systems need to be returned from an anaerobic to an aerobic state.
Most systems can be put back on line and not require costly removal and replacement by using the following procedure. Please contact us Here for more specific details.
Determine the problem causing system failure and repair it.
Drain the system by excavating one end of all the lines and removing the end cap and/or offset adapters to allow air to enter the system and return the bacteria to an aerobic condition.
If foreign matter has entered the system, flush the pipes.
Safeguard the open excavation.
Guarantee a passage of air through the system.
Allow all lines to dry for a minimum of 72 hours.
Check soil colors for proof of bacteria returning to aerobic conditions.
Re-assemble the system to its original design configuration.
System Expansion:
Enviro-Septic® systems are easily expanded by adding equal lengths of pipe to each line of the original design or by adding additional equal sections. Note: All system expansions need to meet State and/or local regulations.
Reusable Pipe:
Enviro-Septic® components are not biodegradable and may be reused. In cases of improper installation it may be possible to excavate, clean, and reinstall all system components.
System Replacement:
If system components require replacement, simply remove the existing pipe and contaminated sand and replace with new pipe and sand.
