Prevent a Septic Backup

25 Aug 2014
 Prevent a messy septic backup by using Sanco’s septic maintenance products.  Sanco has two septic system products, Septi-Cleaner and Root Destroyer. 
 
Septi-Cleaner is a combination of beneficial bacteria that you pour down your toilet.  The bacteria in Septi-Cleaner go to work breaking down solid waste material to help prevent a backup.

Root Destroyer is a granular copper sulfate that is used to help kill small hair like roots that find their way into your septic line through cracks and crevices.  Small hair like roots can grow into massive fingers that will block the flow from your toilet to your septic tank causing a backup.  Root Destroyer is applied by pouring down the toilet closest to the septic tank.  The copper will be absorbed by the tree roots in the lines and gradually die.  This process leaves the tree completely unharmed and your septic tank lines flowing smoothly.  Both Septi-Cleaner and Root Destroyer should be applied when your plumbing isn’t going to be used i.e. when you go to work for an 8 hour day or better yet if you are leaving for a weekend.  This allows the product to go to work before it is flushed out.
