Restoring Failed
Drain Fields:
Failed drain fields have been
restored by applying Septic Seep in greater
quantities. Good results have been obtained by
applying 16 litres directly to the drain field
soil as a shock treatment. Septic
Seep should be applied through a distribution box
or cleanout directly to the drain field, bypassing
the septic tank. Have the tank pumped the day you
intend to apply Septic Seep. All standing water
should be pumped from the drain field if possible.
You may have to dig below the surface of the soil
to find your distribution box. If you do not have,
or cannot find, a distribution box or cleanout
directly to the drain field, the product may be
applied through the outlet of the septic tank
using a funnel with a length of old garden hose
attached. Place the end of the hose in the septic
tank outlet and pour all 16 litres through the
funnel. Follow the application with enough clear
water (up to 200 litres) to flush the product
deeper into the field.
WARNING: Septic tanks can be
hazardous. Noxious gases collect in the top of the
tank, and tank contents pose a health hazard. We
recommend hiring a licensed professional septic
service technician if application must be done
through the tank outlet.
PLEASE NOTE: Some septic tanks have a “T”
outlet, or baffle installed on the outlet to
reduce the amount of solids flowing to the drain
field. These types of systems may prevent
accessing the outlet in this way. If it is not
possible to access the tank outlet, or use any
other method of direct drain field application the
product may be applied through a toilet or drain.
Although not as effective as a shock treatment
applied directly to the soil, application in this
manner will help restore drain field soil. Septic
Seep has been shown to be effective in solutions
as dilute as 1 part per 1,000.
Septic Seep has been used successfully
for over 50 years, but due to the wide range of
contributing factors that may cause drain field
failure, we cannot guarantee the effectiveness of
Septic Seep.
We want you to know the truth. We don’t
claim that Septic Seep will solve everyone's
septic system problems. If you haven’t had your
septic tank pumped in 20 years your problem is
probably beyond the scope of what Septic Seep can
do. The best results can be obtained when Septic
Seep is applied to soil that has a high clay
content. If you don’t know what kind of soil you
have read the "Signs of Septic System
Failure" page on this web site.The bottom line is: if your septic system
drain field is failing, you have several choices
you can make ranging from an expensive total
replacement to trying a product like Septic Seep.
It may not work, but it probably will, isn’t it
worth a try? We know there are other companies who
offer guarantees on their products, but please
read the fine print, know what is being
guaranteed. Will they take responsibility if your
drain field is damaged by their product's use?
We know that our product has not damaged a
drain field in over 50 years of use.
Additionally, we guarantee that we are bringing
you a high quality product with a track record we

We want you to be satisfied with your

out the possibilities, then order Septic Seep.
