Septic Additives

​A number of companies sell products under the claim that routine addition to the toilet or septic tank will improve the system’s function and will restore the flow to “slow plumbing.” Most experts consider these claims to be unsubstantiated. Your client should know that wastewater flow problems, which originate in a septic system, could be symptomatic of major system failure. Without the proper attention of a wastewater professional, such problems will usually get worse and more expensive to repair. Relying on additives to fix septic system problems is not recommended.
