Hi,
I have been renting out a house in Florida. It was build in 1980. Last year the flow became sluggish and started to overflow. I called in a septic pump, and they pumped it. 3 month later it happened again. I started to add RidX and this time it took about 4 months. I told the tenant to add RidX once every 2 weeks.
Then I had it pumped. And most recently the backup happened 6 months (He did not use RidX for sometime tho).
The drainfield is not wet. But the plumber did say I may need a whole new drainfield?
But I have been reading online and it says there are some possible solutions to this.
He did give me a lot more RidX and todl me to put in in the toilet every day and see if it helps.
To my understanding a drainfield is a natural biosystem and can be potentially restored?
I was wondering, before I go and spend 6+ thousand dollars, are there any solutions that I can try?
He did also say maybe I can try something called BioMat-X applied directly into the drainfield?
