Septic Sentry - Brochure

As traditional wastewater disposal areas age, the infiltration rate of the soil decreases causing effluent to pond in the disposal field. This ponding progresses over time until eventually the disposal field "fails."  Failures usually take the form of effluent breakouts on the top or sides of the disposal area or effluent back-ups into the building. Often there is no warning that a disposal area is about to fail. This can present a major health and image problem for restaurants, hotels, day care centers, summer camps, and other similar facilities
