Septic Treatment

You may wish that your septic tank — and everything that goes on in there — could stay out of sight and mind, but it’s best to stay ahead of waste management. A healthy septic tank may be able to break down waste effectively between pumping services, but sometimes a little extra help is needed.

Maui Pumping Services is the expert team you need to give accurate recommendations on any septic treatments your tank needs. You want your septic system to function efficiently and be healthy for as long as possible, and septic treatment can help this process significantly.

Types Of Septic Treatment

There are a few things that can be used to treat your septic tank, and not all of them are the perfect choice for every homeowner. In fact, some of them are highly dangerous and can even be banned where you live.

• Biological Additives — Adding a biological additive basically boosts the existing bacteria population’s health, allowing the ecosystem to thrive. They also have enzymes included that can break down stubborn paper products. This is the healthiest, recommended treatment for septic tanks.
• Organic Solvents — One of the toughest substances in your septic tank is grease. Certain substances meant to break down grease can be added to your tank if needed, but this treatment can sometimes affect the healthy bacteria as well. These solvents also don’t break down when released into the environment, potentially causing contamination.
• Inorganic Acids — After dilution, compounds like sulfuric acid can be used to break down waste on a short-term basis. They’re effective at clearing a path through the waste but will likely destroy the natural bacteria growth. They’re also dangerous to the surrounding environment.

ONLY Use Professional Septic Treatment

There are many septic additives available to you at common home supply stores, but you should be VERY careful what you put into your septic tank. As you can see from the varying purposes of different septic treatments, the wrong additive can have negative consequences. You should consult with a professional septic expert before adding anything to your system. At the very least, you should know that you aren’t harming your system!
