Default Septic Systems

How can you tell if a septic tank is "sluggish" under 2 feet of snow? If
water is backing up it is possible the drainage or weeping tiles or pipes
are frozen up or clogged. When was the last time the tank was pumped out to
get rid of the sludge that slowly fills up the tank.

Do these products made to clean, and produce bacterial action,
actually work to keep the tanks working, and system clean.
I had to start using more water, and detergents do to a family member
added to our home. Do to incontinance, various bleaches and ammonia,
had to be used in order to control order on clothes.

The system is starting to get slugguish, will anything help?

Thanks, everbody for you help, I got my brother to take
over the washing duties for now, he is on a public system.
We are going to wash our the clothes in the laundrmat. until
i can get it going. I must have 2ft of snow in the yard, with an ice
crust.
The tank is working, but it is slow.

I put Roebic septic cleaner in the tank last night, I will post
back to tell you if it helped!
Thanks again!
