Septic tanks are full of crap and other less pleasant substances

[Logan M.]

After watching hours of YouTube videos on septic tanks I have determined that one of my tanks and the leech lines are full of biomat, a nasty substance made up of fat and grease.

I am considering adding to the drain field while having the current drain field cleaned.

I have heard of people using other remedies and wanted to see what others have done.

This tank has been pumped 3-4 times this year!

 if you are pumping 3-4x a year then you have other issues. I would not do this yourself, I would hire a professional company to assess the situation and advise.
