What is Septic Enzyme Treatment?

All septic tanks contain both good and bad forms of bacteria that come from the organic waste flushed into the system. However, many of the good bacteria are killed by household cleaners, antibacterial soaps, and bleach. When you use a septic enzyme treatment, it adds the good, productive bacteria back into your system.

Overview of enzyme treatment

Enzymes work to break down organic waste, grease, oils, and solids that enter your septic tank. They also break down starch and proteins through a natural, non-toxic process that promotes better drainage and prevents buildup in your system that could cause blockages and clogs. Enzyme treatments for breaking down solids in septic tanks are suitable for all systems, and they’re safe for both residential and commercial septic systems.

Benefits of Septic Enzyme Treatment

Express Septic & Drain Cleaning provides enzyme treatments that you can easily add to your system once a month to keep it maintained. When the enzymes are mixed with water, they work to break down the buildup of waste into increasingly smaller sizes. Here are some of the benefits of using enzymes in septic tanks and how enzymes improve septic system performance:
Improves system efficiency
Using enzymes as recommended helps to enhance waste breakdown for better flow and drainage, optimizing your system’s overall efficiency.
Prevents costly repairs
With regular enzyme use, you’ll help to avoid clogs, backups, and even drain field failures that often result in costly repairs.
An eco-friendly solution
These eco-friendly septic tank enzyme solutions are safe for the environment, completely biodegradable, and free of harmful chemicals that could impact soil and groundwater.
Extends system lifespan
Using a septic enzyme treatment reduces wear and tear on your septic tank and drain field, prolonging the lifespan of your system while protecting your investment.
Eliminates odors
Enzymes neutralize foul smells caused by organic waste buildup to keep your home and yard smelling fresh and clean.

Signs You Need Enzyme Treatment

Enzyme treatments are not a replacement for septic pumping, but they do extend the life of your septic tank and reduce the frequency of having to have your septic tank pumped. The EPA recommends that you have your septic tank pumped every 3-5 years. Our local septic enzyme treatment services use high-quality enzymes to keep your septic system maintained between septic tank pumping appointments.
Here are some signs that you may need to contact us for professional septic tank additive services near you.
Slow drains
If your drains are slow or sluggish, it may indicate a buildup of solids, grease, hair, and other items in your septic system. Enzymes work to break up this buildup to support better water flow.
Foul odors around your property
Unusual, foul odors coming from your drains or around your property could mean that your septic system is backed up. Adding septic enzymes works to break down those clogs to reduce and eliminate nasty smells.
Pooling water over the drain field
Wet spots or water pooling around your drain field could indicate a blockage due to poor soil absorption or a clogged system. When you add enzymes, it’ll break up the blockage and allow wastewater to drain freely again.
Frequent tank pumping
Adding septic enzymes reduces the need for frequent, repeated pumping which will save you money and time.
Unusually green grass over the drain field
If you notice bright green grass over areas near your drain field, it’s a sign that there is excessive moisture and possible system overload. Fortunately, enzymes work to remedy this common problem.
