Hi Grizz,
Sorry to hear you had to hire a plumber to help you with your leach field rejuvination. I'm at the point where my field is clogged again. Fortunately for me the overflo is sitting on top of the hastily filled hole for the d-box in my woods from last November (ground almost totally frozen) and is not backing up in the house.
My septic guy is coming on Tuesday. My Clog Hog arrived today. I have a 2700psi pressure washer. My septic guy will hang with me and pump out the water from the Dbox while I jet the lines.
I searched all the threads for hydrogen peroxide. Do I really need to put in 50 gallons? That seems like it's going to cost $600-$700. I realize it's small change compared to replacing the field. I've also read I should put in Septic Seep before the H2O2? and....Should I let the field dry out first before I add anything. My tank will take 4-5 days to fill up.
When I looked at your Tinyurl site to check for any updates I was glad to see your field was draining normally. I'm really curious about the worms. I may try those once I get my field working again God willing. As always, your replies and the time you take the write them are much appreciated.

Hi Grizz,
I'm pretty sure I know what I'm going to find. When I had the tank and Dbox pumped last year all kinds of black water backwashed out of the laterals. After applying my one and only application of sodium percarbonate the field drained normally until this winter. Based on your manifesto I know I should not keep reapplying the sodium percarbonate. How much did your plumber charge you for that 50 gallons of hydrogent peroxide?
