Septic Enzyme Treatments
At Bailey’s Septic, we provide professional-grade septic enzyme treatments that support the natural biological processes inside wastewater systems. These enzymes are designed to help break down organic waste more efficiently, improving system performance and reducing common problems associated with buildup, odors, and restricted flow.
Our enzyme products are available for direct purchase by customers, and they can also be professionally applied by our technicians during septic pump-outs, routine maintenance, and other septic services.
How Septic Enzymes Work
All septic and wastewater systems rely on biological activity to process waste. Bacteria inside the system break down organic material like human waste, food particles, fats, oils, and grease. Septic enzymes act as catalysts in this process. They speed up the breakdown of complex organic compounds into simpler substances that bacteria can digest more easily.
Research in wastewater management has shown that enzyme-supported systems can reduce organic solids and grease accumulation significantly when compared to untreated systems. In grease-heavy environments, enzyme treatments have been shown to reduce fat, oil, and grease buildup when used consistently. This reduction helps maintain better flow through tanks, pipes, and downstream components.
Benefits of Enzyme Treatments
Septic enzyme treatments offer several practical advantages for both residential and commercial systems:
Improved breakdown of organic solids inside tanks
Reduced grease accumulation in pipes and traps
Less odor caused by decomposing waste
Improved drainage and reduced risk of backups
Support for system efficiency between pump-outs
By keeping organic material from building up too quickly, enzyme treatments can help extend the functional life of system components and reduce emergency service calls.
Professional Application or Customer Use
Bailey’s Septic offers flexible options depending on your needs and system type.
Our technicians can apply enzyme treatments during pump-outs or service visits, allowing the product to be evenly distributed throughout the system. This is especially effective after pumping, when tanks are refilled and biological activity is restarting.
We also sell enzyme products directly to customers who want to maintain their system between service visits. Our team can explain proper dosing, frequency, and application methods to help you get the best results.
Enzyme Applications
Bailey’s Septic enzymes are suitable for a wide range of wastewater and waste management environments, including:
Dump sites
Home drains
Lagoons
Seepage ditches
Sewage spills
Floor Drains
Septic tanks
Grease traps
Mound systems
Cesspools
Drain fields
Vault Toilet
These treatments are commonly used in residential homes, restaurants, industrial facilities, campgrounds, and municipal systems.
A Smart Addition to Regular Maintenance
While enzyme treatments are not a replacement for regular pumping or inspections, they are a valuable addition to a well-planned maintenance routine. Industry guidelines recommend septic tanks be pumped every 2 to 3 years for most households. Enzyme use between pump-outs can help slow the rate at which solids and grease accumulate, supporting smoother system operation during that interval.
