Did you know that even a new septic system can fail in as little as three years?This is primarily due to non-biodegradable material fibers plugging the soil in septic system drain fields. The majority of lint fibers are very fine lightweight particles that stay in suspension in the septic tank. They then flow with the water out to the drainfield where they plug the pores of the soil. Over time,the soil can become so plugged with fibers that the drain field fails to allow the effluent to migrate through the soil.Then, the homeowner is faced with costly repairs. For homes connected to city sewer systems, these lint fibers are a leading cause of sewer pipe and drain clogs,which can cause flooding in laundry rooms and basements.
