Biological Remediation

Biological remediation allows an existing septic system to be saved. In nature, oxygen-using (aerobic) bacteria in the soil consume non-living organic material - this is the process nature uses to recycle wastes.

How it works

Biological remediation utilizes an aerator in the septic tank to create an oxygen rich environment and cultivate an extensive colony of soil bacteria to consume the waste in the tank. The result is nearly complete consumption of the organic materials entering the septic tank. At the same time, the bacteria are carried into the leach field where they consume the organic material that has accumulated in the underlying soil. The leach field regains and/or maintains its capacity to deliver effluent to the soil for purification.

Biological remediation can

  • Protect drainfields from ever biologically failing
  • Improve the function of marginally operating drainfields
  • Restore the function of totally failed drainfields
  • Improve the quality of effluent returning to the soil and ground water
  • Reduce the amount of nitrate moving into the environment
  • Reduce the size of a leach field required for new building construction
  • Expand the size of existing structures without expanding the leach field
  • Cost thousands of dollars less than a replacement leach field
  • Cause minimal disruption to existing landscape
  • Protect the environment
  • Significantly lengthen tank pumping intervals
  • Conserve natural resources
  • Carry a 100% component and limited lifetime performance warranty

System performance limited warranty

Septic Preservation Services warrants that following proper installation of the aerobic wastewater treatment system into a sound septic tank, which is followed by a biologically or organically clogged absorption system and operated under normal conditions, the biological remediation will recover the soil's natural drainage abilities within 12 months of installation. Should recovery fail to occur following a 12 month time period, or clogging reoccur after initial recovery, Septic Preservation Services shall credit to the purchaser 100% of the original purchase price minus all testing and engineering fees toward the installation of a new system.

Massachusetts septic tax credit

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts provides a tax credit of up to $6,000 over 4 years to defray the cost of septic repairs to a primary residence. The credit cannot exceed $1,500 in any year and may be spread out over 4 years. The tax credit is limited to work done on a primary residence only.
