Septic Cleaning
As experts in the area of septic cleaning, we’ve seen quite a lot. But many of the problems that we see on a daily basis could be prevented if the septic tank owner was more informed about the different ways a septic tank can fail. So what is a septic tank? A septic tank is a natural filter that harnesses the power of an organic breakdown process to filter out the solids and grease that accumulate over time from household waste. The liquids in a septic tank flow to a leaching area or soil filter that cleans the liquids and allows for reabsorption into the environment. The solids that are left over are broken down slowly by the organic process, which is powered by beneficial bacteria.
So how can the system fail? If solids somehow get into the leaching pipe, they can clog it and the septic system will backup. This can be caused by one of two things. The first is sludge buildup, which is mostly due to lack of sludge removal by septic tank cleaning. The second cause is a bacterial deficiency. Bacterial deficiency can be treated with one of our products, KB-X-TENDR. Read more about KB-X-TENDR here.

Sweet Air and RootX
If you’re having problems with odors and smells, then you may need Sweet Air from Kaiser-Battistone. In the 65 years we’ve been doing septic, we’ve heard this problem the most. The Sweet Air Filtering Device is a filter that removes foul air which flows through house vents each time a shower is run or a toilet flushed. This device is inexpensive and can be installed by Kaiser-Battistone on your existing vents. You won’t have to worry about embarrassing odors ruining any more patio parties.
Root intrusion is a part of plumbing that is always hard to deal with. Should you totally replace the pipes or just work to heal the root intrusion? Kaiser-Battistone has the answer in the form of RootX, a non-systemic patented chemical root control forumla. RootX is environmentally safe and is the #1 root killer on the market today. RootX comes as two dry components. When you add water, these components create a sticky foam. This foam fills the entire pipe, coating the roots and pipeline surfaces with the RootX formula. This leaves a residue above the water line that continues to kill roots and inhibits new growth for up to 12 months. If you’re interested, a Kaiser-Battistone technician can apply a treatment to your pipes. Ask Kaiser-Battistone about an annual maintenance program with RootX.
