Did you know that over 85% of septic tanks do NOT need to be pumped? 

• From our records in 2008 & 2009 the vast majority of septic tanks we inspected did  NOT need pumping! 

• Several of these tanks hadn't been pumped for 10 years or more & there was no excessive buildup of solids or scum! 

• The 2 to 4-year pump out cycle is just an Urban Legend!

So next time someone tells you "you better have it pumped just in case..." give us a call here at NET Septic.  We will tell you the truth.

What do we do at NET Septic?

We Offer Innovative Solutions for Your Wastewater Needs:

Certified Monitoring Specialist (Thurston & Mason) *  Septic Designs * Drainfield Remediation & Recovery

  SludgeHammer Drainfield  Remediation & Recovery since 2004

Residential Commercial Municipal WW S-STEP^© is 2ndary treatment for STEP-Sewer

The 20th Century (old) way:

Typical Biomat slime kills of 95% drain-fields.                 Typical Repair = Expensive Landscape Damage.

SludgeHammer is your 21st Century Solution!

Hoodsport, WA - beautiful Japanese Garden saved because SludgeHammer restored the drainfield to good working order.  Water was starting to back up but SludgeHammer reversed the biomat plugging process.  These happy homeowners got to keep their old gravity-flow septic system for a mere fraction of what their neighbor paid for his three new tanks with multiple pumps and expensive electronic control system.  We have made most "repairs" obsolete.  SludgeHammer is good news for homeowners.

SludgeHammer's Ecosystem Restoration Model:

	We put Nature's own ecosystem process to work in your septic tank & drainfield.  For millions of years Nature has efficiently digested human & animal wastes with certain microbes found naturally in the soil leaf-litter zone.  SludgeHammer uses a blend of 5 natural microbes to put this natural ecosystem process to work for you.
	Our Natural Microbes and high Dissolved Oxygen restore the soil's "perk" and lets your drainfield work again.  Oxygen keeps our microbes active and helps heal your drainfield.
	5 Denitrification Options The 2007 New Mexico Governor's report documents Total Nitrogen down to 6-PPM which far exceeds Washington State's 20-PPM standard.  We are the leaders in aerobic denitrification.
	Effective fecal coliform Reductions Up to 98.6% fecal coliform reductions without chemicals or UV.
	Goodbye Stream Siltation & $$$ Landscape Damage  We eliminate silt runoff problems typical of conventional drainfield replacements or sewer projects.  We leave your local ecosystem intact & undisturbed.
	Water Reclamation and Re-Use is the ideal ecosystem model  Sunset Magazine March 2007 pages 100 & 101.  Ecosystem friendly, we give the plants the nitrogen & phosphorous and cut aquifer withdrawals.  You can now stop using your drinking water for irrigation!

Advantages:

	Multiple Applications: Restores Grease-Plugged Drainfields, Unplugs failed Sand Filters & Mounds, Digests even RV Dump Station Waste, and more...
	21st Century Technology verses 19th Century Technology.  The invention of Aerobic Treatment Units (ATUs) dates backwards 100 years... & Sand Filter (Mound) technology about 120 years (that's the year 1890). SludgeHammer was UPC listed in the 21st Century (in 2003).  We are 100-years ahead of the others!
	Retrofit instead of Replace your septic.  Way less expensive and far more effective than the old ways.
	Low Power Consumption.  40 to 60 watts instead of the typical 200 to 500 watts with ATUs.  The power is in the Biology instead of the technology!
	Low Capital Cost = High Ecosystem Restoration Value.  445 SludgeHammer's for the price of 67 Traditional Septic Replacements. Suggested SludgeHammer installed price $4,500 + tax.  Price comparison based on typical $30,000 septic system replacement.
	Annual maintenance costs are far less than traditional Aerobic Treatment Units.
	S-STEP© is the revolutionary new way for Municipal Wastewater Plants to extend their services while keeping within their discharge permit limits.  S-STEP is also the most cost effective way to sewer a small community.  Call Ken Morse at (360) 923-1080 to schedule a presentation.

Regulatory Compliance:

	Now NSF-40, Class 1 (April 2009)
	Plumbing Code Compliant (UPC Listed since 2003) We conform to IAPMO's IGC #180-2003 Standard for  restoring clogged drainfields. No other standard tests with a restoration model approach.
	The 2007 WA State Dept. of Health's Remediation RS&G (Recommend Standards and Guidance), grants local authority for use of SludgeHammer technology to recover failed drainfields.
	SludgeHammer Blend has met all requirements for sale, use & distribution in WA since 2004.
	In Washington State, Systems larger than 14,500 GPD fall under Dept. of Ecology regulations which are performance driven rather than product specific.  Performance data is available upon request.
	Similarly, in Oregon, all WPCF projects are performance-driven and usually just requires an Professional Engineer's stamp & justification for permit approval.

Compare For Yourself:

*The < 10-PPM Total Nitrogen (TN) figures for SludgeHammer is a high estimate.  Usually we get less than 1-PPM. Nitrogen issues are a little complex, but the bottom line is we beat the performance of anything out there on a cost analysis basis.  Unfortunately regulatory-recognition for soil-based denitrification in WA State is slowly being recognized.  However, your local Health Department has the capability to recognize our unique methods through a "Class B Waiver" process.  We now have several new ways to handle the nitrogen issue, depending on the situation and particular site needs.  The denitrification advances we have achieved in the last several year are revolutionizing how we deal with septic nitrogen.

** The Washington Administrative Code (WAC 246-272A-0110-5) states "treatment levels used in these rules are not intended to be applied as field compliance standards..." (emphasis added)

***  Normally SludgeHammer costs $21/month to maintain but for TMDL projects final operating cost will be heavily dependant on Government requirements.

*^* These figures for SludgeHammer are measured in the tank, just like the ATU figures.  For both ATU and SludgeHammer 12 to 24" of soil in the drainfield typically reduces the fecal coliform load to essentially zero (non-detect) which is better than most Waste Water Treatment Plant discharges.

TMDL=Total Maximum Daily Load   Is a regulatory requirement that is being applied to many bodies of water, such as Hood Canal and Puget Sound.  The Federal Clean Water Act is the driving force behind TMDL requirements for your area.  Your Local Health Department is tasked with enforcing this law and is required to ask for citizen input.
