        We are buying a repossessed house that was built in 1965, and are having trouble finding any records on the house pertaining to the septic system. We heard that it was a sand and gravel septic system. Is that bad? Is it costly to replace? The property consists of one acre and is all flat, but so far,we have been unable to locate the septic system. It is draining very slowly, but we didn’t know if that was an indication of trouble or if it could be because the house has sat empty for 4 months. If you have any info, I would greatly appreciate it.

          Normally the septic tank will be about 15 feet from the house in line with the bathrooms. A pipe locating company can find it very easily for their minimum fee, but the cost will depend on your area and how they bill for heir time.

            In order to quickly start-up the biological activity in the septic tank again, you can use Bacteria Concepts’ SEPTI-MATE and SEPTI-SHOCK.

            When used on a regular basis, these products help to greatly reduce or
            eliminate bad odors from the septic tank, slows down the sludge build-up
            process, maintains proper biological activity of the septic tank and where
            applicable, keeps leach fields free-flowing. Thus, the source of the problem
            is targeted.

            If the natural filtration system of your septic tank is obstructed by organic waste build-ups, the bacteria in SEPTI-MATE and SEPTI-SHOCK help to degrade and loosen the waste, thus revitalizing the natural filtration effect of the sand gravel system.

            We encourage you to contact us to order some product as a cost effective means to solve any problems where we may be of help in.

            You will also receive detailed instructions on how to use the product to
            solve any problems you may be facing.

            Bacteria Concepts manufactures the highest quality bacterial products on the
            market. Each contains a scientific blend of multiple strains of naturally
            occurring active bacteria, which function precisely to solve a specific
            problem. The blend is synergistic, which means that all strains are
            compatible with each other and compliment each others activity. The strains
            are chosen to be highly resistant to disinfectants, sanitizers, and to hot
            water. This feature permits their use in any normal home, commercial or
            industrial environment without imposing undo restrictions on accepted
            methods or on personnel. All bacteria strains used are non-pathogenic (i.e.
            they do not cause disease) and thus, will not harm humans and pets.

            Bacteria Concepts products are non-toxic, biodegradable and hence,
            environmentally friendly.
