Problems with your septic system?

A test. We find out if your septic system can be turned 'ESS' by qualifying 3 variables about your system:

• No groundwater
• No bad soil (clay-like soil)
• No bad structure (some fixable, some not)

To find out if your system qualifies, please click Get Assessed to fill out our simple questionnaire. We will get back to you in 24 hours or less.

Less than 6% of septic systems we evaluate do not pass this test. Those systems may need minor repairs, possibly replacement (rare), or just continued pumping on a specific schedule based on waste to keep them lasting as long as possible.

Contrary to what most septic professionals will tell you, there is an over 90% chance that your system can be fixed WITHOUT invasive and costly excavation and replacement.

What kind of issues? Clogging of the drain field, an overfull drain field, or a back-up into your home.

Installing this technology before a septic system has issues will prevent the 1 in 10 chance that it can't be fixed. Why? Once a drain field becomes over-saturated, there is a small chance the soil can become unfixable due to its composition.

The operation of a septic system is the same wherever you live. The tank type may differ (concrete vs. plastic), the drain field may differ (lateral lines vs. leaching pit), and the soil type is likely to vary (sandy loam vs. clay). No matter these differences, septic problems are likely due to the soil becoming clogged with biomat.

The Environmental Septic Solution was designed to eliminate biomat, unclog your drain field, restore it to normal operation, and extend its life. If your drain field functioned for a reasonable period of its design life expectancy, our solution will restore it to functionality.

This depends on a lot of factors, but generally speaking, it happens a lot faster on systems that have recently failed versus those that have been in failure for two or three years.

The ESS starts to work immediately after installation. You'll begin to see a noticeable difference in your septic tank within 24 hours. Septic odors usually disappear within 24-48 hours. The ESS can remediate your failed drainfield in as little as six weeks.

Once the bacteria colony has established itself in your tank, they will start to digest organic solids and, within 30 days, you should see a difference in the clarity of the liquid in your tank. At this stage, you should also see good bacteria growth indicating that our bacteria have \"taken off.\"

Now it's a question of time; we have to allow the bacteria to make their way to your drain field where they will begin the restoration process. Some common sense has to prevail — if your system has taken 20 years to fail, it's unlikely to recover overnight. You should begin to see abatement of symptoms within 30 days and a definite improvement within 90 days. This is not an exact science: some systems recover in as little as two weeks while others take a few months or more.

Good question! The Aerobic Bacteria Generator (\"ABG\") technology has been around for over 20 years. The Environmental Septic Solution is the latest version of that technology, created by the inventor of the original Pirana ABG device. The ABG is not the same as an aerator — it's an Aerobic Bacteria Generator. The ESS was designed specifically to mix the proprietary bacteria with effluent, air, and water in the most efficient way.

The ABG is accepted and approved for installation in most states. Due to the low cost of installation and low profit margin, many contractors ignore the technology. They would prefer to replace your drain field for thousands of dollars.

Our goal is to provide homeowners with the lowest-cost choice to restore an existing drain field, rather than have someone dig it up and replace it — a dramatically more expensive, time consuming, and disruptive process. The choice is yours.

We have a long, proven track record that supports our claims about the ESS ABG, and we have a money-back guarantee to uphold them.

Once a year, simply add a proprietary Bacteria Tablet to your septic tank. If the tank opening is not accessible, crumble the tablet into the toilet bowl and flush three times to ensure all of the bacteria are washed directly to the septic tank.

If you start experiencing odors or other symptoms after the ESS has been in place for a long time, the bacteria colony has likely been compromised. This can happen in a number of ways — using a lot of bleach in your laundry, backwashing your water softener into the septic tank, or a household member being on long-term antibiotics or chemotherapy, to name a few.

Please contact us at 888-828-8177 and speak to one of our septic consultants so we can diagnose the cause and recommend a solution. The most common solution is to prevent the disruptive element (bleach, backwash, medications, etc.) from entering the septic system, then add one or two tablets to revive the bacteria colony quickly.

YES! Very much so.

Installing and properly maintaining an Environmental Septic Solution in your septic tank will essentially guarantee that your system never fails. It will also eliminate the need to pump organics from your tank, and ensure your septic system does not pollute your property, groundwater, or surrounding waterways.

Good question! We offer a money-back guarantee if the Environmental Septic Solution does not solve the septic tank problem of biomat clogging in soil after 12 months of consistent usage. Click here to read our Performance Guarantee.

The Environmental Septic Solution also comes with a Lifetime Product Warranty — if anything goes wrong with your ESS, just give us a call. Click here to see our Lifetime Warranty.

If your system does not have issues yet (no wastewater building and clogging in the drain field), then by installing the Environmental Septic Solution you will likely never experience a failure-type situation.

If your septic system ever fails in the future, we will investigate the reason and back our workmanship 100% as long as the maintenance agreement is kept. We will get the system working for you again in no time, unless hazardous material has been put into the system to prevent it from working.

Benefit 1: Your system is given the chance to last 'forever' by using technology that is proven to eat up all organic matter in a septic system.

Benefit 2: The average septic system lifespan is 25 years, and the average person will experience 2 replacements in their lifetime totaling $60k — or all of that can be avoided with the decision to install the Environmental Septic Solution once.

Benefit 3: Reduce or eliminate septic tank pumping frequency and the cost of septic system maintenance tremendously.

Extra Benefits: Eliminate foul septic smells forever and avoid the risk of digging up the entire yard to pay $40k+ for replacement.

Why would failure occur?

• The system was already failed — We tested the system, so it falls into the 10% category of systems that cannot be fixed. Why? Over-saturated systems, in a handful of cases, will have unfixable soil when containing too much clay.
• The system was not already failed — Abuse over time is the only way to explain this:
  • Too much water usage (fixable)
  • Harmful chemicals put down drains that are not septic-safe
  • Materials flushed that cannot be broken down, clogging the stone
  • Roots growing into the drain field

Without the factors above, this new technology has the potential to make a septic system last forever.

The Environmental Septic Solution has brought systems back to life that are over 70 years old. Most don't make it to that age.

The average septic system lifespan is 20-40 years until clogging and failure. A Google search will tell you 25 years.

Yes. The process works exactly the same, whether you have a single chamber tank or a two-chamber tank. Two-chamber tanks are becoming increasingly popular with state regulators because their design is better suited to retain solids in the tank.

In a two-chamber tank, we install the ESS in the first chamber (the inlet chamber). In a single chamber septic tank, we install the ESS directly below the access opening.

Yes. The process works exactly the same as it would in a septic tank. We have a model that is specially designed to float at a consistent 8 to 12 inches below the water's surface as the water level rises and falls.

The Environmental Septic Solution acts as an incubator to grow bacteria that work in two ways to restore your drain field.

First, they \"digest\" organic solids in your septic tank — human waste, oils, grease, toilet paper, and any other organic material. This does not happen in a conventional septic system, where these solids either settle to the bottom of the tank as sludge or float to the top as scum.

Second, these bacteria get suspended in the liquid, leave your septic tank, and travel out to your drain field and into the soil, where they start \"chewing away\" at the crud ('biomat') that has built up in your soil after years of use. Now it's just a question of time before they \"eat\" enough crud to open up your drain field.

This is a completely natural process and environmentally friendly. There are no chemicals involved whatsoever.
