When your septic tank smells when it rains it's usually a result of the changes in atmospheric pressure that can lead to the air becoming heavy and so the methane gases in the septic tank don't flow through the vent as they normally should and instead the methane gas stays low to the ground and causes the bad smell that can be similar to the smell of rotten eggs.
Heavy rains also result in a rise of the liquid level in the septic tank, which increases back-pressure on gases in the tank.
These gases then have nowhere to go but into the drain, vent, and waste system in your home.
The result is a foul smell caused by a flooded drain field.
The signs that your septic tank needs pumped include.
You have trouble flushing your toilet, or it's constantly backing up.
Your pipes make a gurgling sound or drain very slowly.
Your lawn is suddenly growing lush, green grass.
Water starts to pool in your yard.
Your home or yard smells like sewage.
RIDX does really work and contains enzymes to help break down solids and organic material including your poop inside the septic tank.
Once you flush RIDX down your toilet the enzymes in RID-X begin working as soon as they come in contact with water.
The bacteria take 2-4 hours to germinate and then begin to break down solid waste.
If the temperature and conditions are favorable, then the bacteria will multiply to the maximum level that the environment will allow in about 2-4 days.
For a natural or homemade septic tank bacteria treatment, biological or bio septic tank treatment is best.
This includes enzymes and bacteria to break down waste naturally without harming the good bacteria in the tank.
RID-X is also designed to attack grease in the septic tank, breaking it down to slow the accumulation of the greasy scum layer, which, if left unchecked, can compromise the function of your septic system.
Inexpensive and easy to use you just flush it down the toilet.
There's no mess, mixing or waiting.
RIDX is available in three formulas which include gelpacs, powder and liquid.
All formulas of RIDX will work to help reduce the rate of sludge build-up to keep your septic system running smoothly until the next pumping.
