how can you regenerate a failing leaching field?
Q. my septic system's leaching field seems to be failing. i've got a consistent puddle where the leaching field is located. i've had the tank pumped and added several products which promise to fix the problem but they haven't helped. the system is ~22 years old. i don't want to have to incur the cost of replacing the existing system if there is an alternative.

A. You can not regenerate it. The leaching materials and distribution pipes are saturated with solids not liquid affluent. It is a waste of your money to buy the bacterial products you find in the hardware store. That is the reason that septic tanks should be pumped out on a regular schedule of yearly or every two years.to three years. The only solution is have a backhoe/excavator dig it all up and create a new leach bed.

If the bailout fails and everything stabalizes will democrats take credit for the bill failing?
Q. They want to blame Republicans for failing to pass the bill but if the economy stabilizes will they try to take credit for it. I really hope this bill doesn't pass. I'm tired of the government trying to bailout businesses and people that can't pay their bills and punish the middle class with higher taxes just because we get our bills paid on time.
