Septic tank clogged or odour
Solve problems in your septic tank, cesspit or small wastewater treatment plant. You can do this.
A well-functioning septic tank, cesspit or small wastewater treatment plant is in balance. Proper septic system maintenance requires that the biology in your septic tank, cesspool or IBA is in order and that the beneficial bacteria can continue to do their job by breaking down the offered material as much as possible. A properly functioning septic system should not only have a good bacterial culture. The overall condition must also be in order. Leaky seals in the service hatches, for example, can also cause foul-smelling gases to escape. A specialised company can check this for you.
What can you do yourself to keep the bacterial culture in your septic tank in order?
If the balance is disturbed, you will notice that the tank fills up more quickly. Filling up the tank can be noticed by a number of things. For example, the toilet may bubble when you flush it or it may no longer flush properly. Odour problems and blockages are also a sign that something is wrong.
The balance of the bacterial culture can be disrupted by the use of certain cleaning products such as Toilet Duck, Glorix, Toilet Stones and some all-purpose cleaners. Strong bacteria-killing cleaning products such as bleach/chlorine bleach/alkali not only kill the bacteria in your home, but also the functioning bacteria in your drains, pipes and tank. And that’s where the bacteria are very useful. So if you have a septic tank, cesspit or small sewage treatment plant, it is better not to use these types of products.
If the biology of the cesspool or septic tank is no longer in order, if you have a lot of problems with odours or if the tank fills up quickly, the Bio-Septic and Roebic products are a good choice.
These products are 100% natural and contain bacterial cultures that start immediately at the source and restore the biological balance. The sludge layer in your tank is broken down and odours are prevented. The accumulation of dirt in your pipework is also prevented. The use of these products offers cost-saving solutions. This is partly due to the fact that the septic tank, cesspit or small sewage treatment plant needs to be cleaned or emptied less frequently.
Roebic offers a wide range of products based on patented bacterial cultures. By adding these products, you add extra bacteria. These are bacteria that can support the existing micro-organisms in the cesspit, septic tank or small wastewater treatment plant in the decomposition of waste.
