Septic Problems?  Replace or Rejuvenate?

Your septic system no longer works properly. Smelly water seeps up onto the lawn above your leach field when you have company, or do the weekly wash. Your soil is slow to drain. Sewage might even be backing up in your house. The leach field for your septic tank is exhausted, and badly needs to be replaced or rejuvenated.

Up until now, the only thing to do is call a contractor and invest in the expensive process of entirely replacing your leach field. This is time consuming, requires extensive excavation, and leaves your lawn and landscaping at a point of starting over.

The Alternative Solution

Midwest Aeration can provide a solution that is fast, effective, and relatively inexpensive. In a few hours, years of life can be added to your septic system, without disturbing your lawn. And we guarantee our work!

Here's how it works

Our patented, light-weight equipment can be driven directly to your leach field. The process uses a long, narrow probe and a pneumatic hammer to penetrate soil to depths of three to six feet. It then forces air into the soil at a controllable rate using a special high-pressure compressor creating a network of fissures and cracks which breaks up the biomat that has formed on the walls of the trenches, and loosens compacted soil in the leach field.

As this probe penetrates the soil, a second system injects both air and polystyrene pellets into the fissures that have been opened by the compressed air. This maintains the passages for the percolation of liquids away from the trenches.

This operation is repeated every four to six feet, depending on soil conditions, around each of the leach field trenches.

Within half a day, the process is completed, without damage to your lawn. Slow drainage problems are corrected immediately. Standing water and slow drainage will immediately disappear and should be completely corrected within 2-3 days as the ground dries out.
