Taking care of your septic system can be confusing, but it doesn’t have to be. There are a lot of products out there that advertise themselves as maintenance or emergency treatments for septic systems and leach fields, but not all of these products are created equal. When it comes to your home’s septic system, there’s one brand we trust above the rest: HOTROD™!
HOTROD™ PRO SEPTIC TREATMENT
With proper maintenance, your septic system shouldn’t need to be pumped for years.
To keep your septic system and leach field working like new, we recommend keeping up with regular maintenance with HOTROD™ PRO. It’s a six-month treatment, unlike most common products you’ll find at the hardware store (those are usually monthly). It adds beneficial bacteria and helps healthy bacteria continue to grow in your septic tank. These good bacteria break down waste to keep things clear. While most septic system treatments include a few good ingredients, HOTROD™ PRO adds 22 things that’ll all work to keep your septic system clear and healthy.
By using a bottle of HOTROD™ PRO just once every six months, you’re saving yourself from the headache of septic tank backups or costly repairs. All you need to do is pour a bottle of HOTROD™ PRO down any drain or toilet. It really is that easy!
HOTROD™ 9-1-1 EMERGENCY SEPTIC TREATMENT
Septic system backed up already? No worries! We’ve got a great product to help with that, too. And it’s a lot better than the stuff you’ll find in the stores. HOTROD™ 9-1-1 is our go-to emergency septic treatment product. It’s extremely concentrated and super effective. Not only does it reduce solids in your septic tank itself, but it also reduces solids in your leach field to allow liquids to flow better.
As long as the bacteria in your septic system is balanced, it should work well for a long time, but as with anything, problems sometimes happen anyways. If you haven’t been keeping up with regular maintenance or if you’ve had a lot of guests staying at your home, it might be a good idea to get some HOTROD 9-1-1 to clear up your septic backups.
Is It Common to Have Septic Issues During the Holidays?
If you’re the kind of person that likes to host during the holidays, we recommend reaching out to us to keep a bottle of HOTROD™ 9-1-1 on-hand. When the health department did their calculations for your septic tank and leach field, they accounted for how many bedrooms were in your home because that gives them an idea how many people live in the home. If you have guests over, that’s adding extra strain to your septic system that the health department didn’t account for, and your system may not be able to keep up with it for long. By keeping a bottle of HOTROD™ 9-1-1 available when hosting, you’ll be ready to treat your septic system before things start backing up and getting gross fast!
HOTROD™ FOG (FATS, OILS, & GREASE)
Having problems with grease clogs in your septic system? When you pour lots of fatty, oily, or greasy products down the drain, they can create FOG clogs, which are extra tricky to clear. If these pesky things are giving your septic system a hard time, there’s a product just for that! It’s called HOTROD™ FOG. If you frequently have problems with fats, oils, and grease wreaking havoc on your septic system, this product can be used every two months to keep things in good shape.
Keep Your Septic System in Great Shape
HOTROD™ products aren’t something you’re gonna find on the shelves at the hardware store. They’re only sold to plumbing professionals like Morris-Jenkins. If you’d like to give HOTROD™ a try for your home’s septic system, give us a call or schedule online. One of our plumbers can help get you set up with all the HOTROD™ products you need to keep your septic system clear and healthy for years to come!
