Definition of
the Enviro-
Septic System
The Enviro-Septic system is a passive technology that facilitates the growth
of bacteria responsible for wastewater treatment. It is composed primarily of
two inseparable components: the rows of Advanced Enviro-Septic pipe and a
layer of system sand.
The Enviro-Septic system must be preceded by a septic tank and a wastewater
distribution device. The treated water is drained directly into the soil beneath
the treatment system through a soil absorption system as described in the Q-2,
r.22 regulation: a leaching field for class II systems or a polishing leaching
field for class III systems.
They can also be discharged directly to a river if
this type of discharge is allowed.
What to do if a
problem
occurs?
If in the course of normal use of your septic system you notice any of the
following problems:
•
Presence of abnormal odours in the house, around the septic system or
emanating from sources of drinking water.
•
Abnormally wet soil, presence of persistent puddles or odours in the
area of the septic tank or the Enviro-Septic system.
•
Slow flushing toilets or other plumbing in the home.
•
Presence of abnormally abundant vegetation on the surface or around
the septic tank or the Enviro-Septic system installation.
•
Flooding in the area where the Enviro-Septic system is installed.
•
Erosion of the land fill on or around the Enviro-Septic system.
•
Alarm from the pumping station if such a device is part of your
installation.
If you notice one of these problems, immediately contact your contractor or
the customer service of DBO Expert Inc. 1-866-440-4975. Please have
available the information from Appendix B –
Information Specific to Your
Treatment System
– of the present guide.
Warning: Please note
that the situations described above can affect any
septic system, whether it is an Enviro-Septic system, any other certified
wastewater treatment technology or any soil absorption systems prescribed in
the Q-2, r.22 regulation. When these problems occur, they are usually caused
by poor installation, malfunction of the residence plumbing, extreme weather
or geological factors or surface water flowing into the septic system.
