SERVICING - As per New York State Code a good proper pumping is achieved when you leave 1/3 of the juice (bacteria laden juice) in the center of the tank. We pump top sludge and bottom dirt leaving about 1/3 of the product. This keeps the existing bacteria colonies that are accustomed to your usage and establishes new bacteria just as if you buy a product to add. If you presently treat your system as you should with bacteria, then by completely emptying the septic tank you would be wasting many products you are adding.

FULL PUMPING - We pump out tank completely leaving only a little product on bottom - 1" or 2". If tank hasn’t been pumped in over 5 years there may be product too heavy to pump, so first we back wash under pressure and get what we can to break up; if we can’t get it all you should go on our Bacteria Program. It will make the hard clumps of sludge turn to clean water in about 6 months of use. Our bacteria will also do the same in your leaching field. Our new Bacteria Program cultures aerobic bacteria much faster than the aerobic bacteria only on the surface in a conventional type system, at most 98% of homes now have. Out of that 95% are in a failure mode. Just because the toilet flushes good doesn’t mean the system is functioning properly.
