Enzyme Program
Waste digestant added to your septic system regularly will help maintain the proper functioning of the system and prolong the life of the system. American Grease and Septic offers a 3-year enzyme program to maintain the health of your septic system.
An enzyme program for septic tanks is a series of treatments that use enzymes to help keep your septic system healthy. Enzymes are proteins that can break down organic matter, such as grease, oil, and food waste. When these substances are broken down, they are less likely to clog your septic system and cause problems. Waste digestant added to your septic system regularly will help maintain the proper functioning of the system and prolong the life of the system.
