The excessive Bio-Mat growth takes place when the anaerobic effluent (air-less) makes contact with the aerobic
(with air) soils in the absorption field.
When these two opposites meet, a reaction takes place and the result is the forming of a thin membrane called
the Bio-Mat.
The membrane grows until it gets out of control and often surfaces as small puddles. When digging in
an absorption field clogged with excessive Bio-Mat growth, the dark gray Bio-Mat can easily be detected in many cases.
FYI: Some companies in the industry will give estimates on replacing field lines and this will not solve the
bio-mat problem.
New Field Lines can cost in excess of $5,000.00 and will likely fail again due to the excessive bio-mat problem
originating from the septic tank.
The Remediator can be purchased alone or professionally installed.

Insider Secret - Remediation "New Solution or Drastically Over Priced?"
The Truth about Septic Remediation: Don Wolf told me himself
that he was charging thousands for a professional installation and that adding air to the septic tank does work >>>
but he also told me that there is a huge mark-up in this product! Call (678) 732-4610 and I will tell you how to save
thousands by installing the Remediator yourself at a Fraction of the Price!
I am presently writing a Tell-All Home Owner's Manual on Septic Systems designed to empower the individual
with the ability to upgrade their system so that it can last a Life-Time - while avoiding the disreputable companies.
Please feel free to contact me for more information.
There are other remediation devices on the market and you CAN shop around!
See Youtube Remediation Videos below.

Beware of Dad's Septic and the manufacturer of the Remediator as they are conspiring to charge Homeowner's
an arm and a leg (price gouging) for this product - which is little more than air - aerobic bacteria and plastic!
This practice endangers public safety and the environment by making it unaffordable to properly
dispose of raw sewage on-site!
Homeowners should be able to add air and aerobic bacteria to their septic tanks themselves as long
as they do not endanger the public (raw sewage is a bio-hazard) but unfortunately it is illegal in many places to touch your
system with out checking with your local county public health (environmental health) organization.
For example, you could put a small air compressor in your garage or basement and use it to pump air
into your tank but putting a hole for the pipe into your tank may be illegal!

The Septic Remediation Conspiracy
A homeowner called me the other day and asked me if I know where to get a remediator at a price less than the $2,500.00.
I told him that he can call the manufacturer and see if he can get it cheaper since Don Wolf undoubtedly has added hundreds
of dollars in mark up to the device for doing little or nothing. The homeowner informed me that the manufactures of the Remediator
sent him to Don Wolf!
I then informed him that for every measure > there is a counter measure! The counter measure in this case is to understand
that the Remediator is just one remediation device on the market and has competitors!
For example, the Sludge Buster or Pirana Sledge Hammer (which I have no experience with) are some examples. See the Youtube
video link above for examples.
I am looking into these systems as alternatives because free market competition can bring the price down for homeowners.
In my opinion, there is simply no excuse for these devices being so expensive.
I understand that the patents and research costs money to develop these devices but these devices use small air compressors
that can't cost much more than about $25.00 and a handful of aerobic bacteria > yet the retail for Thousands!
Septic Systems across the Nation are failing due to excessive biomat and this biomat (raw sewage) often surfaces > endangering
the public! Sewage is a bio-hazard and if it washes into the drinking water > people have and will likely DIE as a direct
result!
If our environmental health departments are really in the business of protecting the public and environment then something
should be done to lower the price in order to make remediation affordable.

Field Lines also fail due to solids entering the outlet baffle tee (located inside the Septic
Tank) and these solids can clog (create a stoppage) the field lines.
Preventing this from occurring can be as simple as adding a septic filter to the outlet baffle tee.
--------- Other Problems > WARNING! ---------
The very high cost to septic companies to dispose of sewage in county
dumps results in illegal dumping.
Sometimes companies will instruct their drivers (technicians) to dump in any place to include
any open man hole cover or storm water drain > in order to avoid paying these high costs.
As I mentioned before, raw sewage can be washed into the drinking water and result in death and bodily
injury due to water born diseases.
Also, many technicians are working on Commission! So BEWARE!
And please use only State Certified Septic Companies:
(Their operating radius is usually 50 Miles from their location so just call those with-in
50 miles of your system.)
