I think i have the hard pan condition, Our water softener has been pumping sodium in there for 10 years, which i've since shut off.Ĭontact with shock folks was easy and pleasant (via email) they also agreed to refund if product didn't work. even purchased a pond pump in to circular water and add air into system, which the pump didnt last long pumping goo, then bought and dumped every septic chemical / snake oil known to man directly in the d-box, then at eh end of my list and nerves I stumbled on Septic Shock, bought (mail order) the 6 pack after all the 5 start reviews and poured a bottle in everyday (As suggested by vendor) by weeks end I did notice a big difference in water level so I though i was good covered everything up and when about my business, Were going on 4 weeks later now and dbox is full again, but we did have a lot of rain in that time so it could be related, anyway bought another 6 bottles this week gong to try again only time will tell, if same problem occurs after a few rain-less weeks i guess I'm digging up the yard for a new leach filed. so I began researching every thing on DR Google i could about septic systems. time for plan B.Īfter a few weeks when the water level rose up my Dbox filled again.

I also uncovered the D-Box (it too was full of water) honey truck pumped it out and jetted and pumped lines ( some type of nasty Black goo pudding came rolling out) and plumber said time for new $17,000 leach field, well I don't have that kind of cash laying around. sure enough baffle was gone meaning all that floating stuff has been going into the leach filed, so they installed a new baffle.

Then called a honey truck to pump it out.

A day after a July 4th party with big crowd my leach filed was soggy, so i called the plumber, they suspected baffle was broken, MY tank doesn't have easy access so dug it up to find lid, come to find out its a coffin tank no lid, so I cut a 24' square hole though 5' of concert in the baffle OUT end of lid.
