The Septic Services Gazette

A basic septic aeration systems have two basic working parts:
1) An aeration or septic tank.
2) Absorption field. (Also called a Drain field.)

Waste flows from your home through your home’s plumbing system to the septic tank.

The aeration/septic tank is nothing more than a holding space for waste (liquid & solids). The solid waste is digested in the tank by aerobic and/or anaerobic bacteria. Digested solids settle to the bottom of the septic tank creating a sludge layer.

As the sludge builds up in the tank it limits the tanks capacity and space for the bacteria to do its job.

When the sludge level gets too high it will begin to transfer into the drain field. The sludge fills the drain field and pores in the soil and destroys your drain field causing surfacing and can cause a backup in your home or sewage in your yard, costing thousands of dollars to replace.

Maintaining your septic system properly is a must to prevent sewer backups and can save thousands of dollars in the prevention of premature drain field failure.

Are you experience problems with your existing septic system?

Septic Services has introduced the Retro-Air Rejuvenator System that provides a complete drainfield rejuvenation system that returns a failed existing septic system back to optimal flow and performance.

The Retro-Air can be used in new or existing septic systems and can be installed in single or multiple compartment septic tanks.

The Retro-Air Rejuvenator System eliminates clogged drainfield bio-mat as well as other secondary treatment systems and is recommended in aeration systems that are prone to backup.

The Retro-Air uses the aerobic process to restore failed anaerobic installations or to prevent failures in newly constructed septic systems by delivering a constant flow of air to the diffuser. Over time, aerobic bacteria consume the bio-mat allowing the soil to absorb effluent once again.

The Retro-Air is quick and easy install and requires minimal maintenance. Available in several models to fit your application the Retro-Air Rejuvenator System comes with a 2-year warranty. Call us at 800-536-5564 and speak to our sales team to order your system.
