Roebic K-57-Q Septic System Cleaner, 32 fl oz

I used 2 bottles of this followed by 2 bottles of leach & drainfield, the bottle that says step 2 on it. My house was built in 2015 but the prior owners hadn't taken good care of the septic and it was overfull when we closed on the house. We had it emptied but my master bath was clogged so bad sewage was coming up in my shower and my house stunk like sewage when I did my dishes in the kitchen ...and it's 3,000 sq feet!!! Tried to snake the shower and toilet and no go. Neither one worked sewage still coming up in the tub to the point I couldn't even do my dishes anymore. Finally researched, found this and did 1 bottle of the emergency stuff, flushed twice. The did the second bottle of it 4 hours later. Flushed twice. Then 4 hours after that 1 bottle of leach and drainfield then 8 hours later, second bottle. It was overnight after using the second bottle that my shower finally drained thank God. I can flush now and wash my dishes !!! I'll be using this stuff for maintenance forever more going forward for sure. Worked So well!!!

I do not have septic but I have an old house and have always had issues with plumbing. We have to have the drain snaked once a year, last time they put a camera in and quoted $17k to fix the issue in half the house!!!! I purchased this because the drain pipe from the ac unit was over flowing. I put the whole bottle in the pipe last night and about 12 hours later pipe is draining perfectly!!!!!!!! This stuff might just save me a crap ton of money!!!!!!!!!!

Gonna give it a four for now Been a month and haven't noticed any big changes. My system wasn't failing but was 42 years old and only pumped once. I have used Rid-x regularly over the years. I just thought it might rejuvenate the lateral lines. I'll update later if I see any real changes.

Best unclogging stuff ever ! Makes everything work perfectly flushes spin beautifully like new !

Had bubbles coming from the toilet when I would take a shower, smelled like sewage. Dug up the cover for my septic tank and had it pumped. After calling my mother i found out that the last time my dad had it pumped was when i was 5 or 6 years old, I'm now 47 and have owned the house for 20 years. I also found out from my research that you are supposed to get a septic tank pumped every 4 or 5 years, so i was only 36 years overdue. The guy who pumped it said it was the worst one he had seen in the 5 years he has worked in septic services. I then had a camera run down into the distribution box. Standing water filled the pipe from the outlet baffle down to the distribution box. The septic tech told me my leach field was shot. Due to my neighbor having a raised bed leach field he told me that was what I was likely going to have to replace mine with. A raised bed leach field in Northern Delaware was gonna run around $40,000 with permits, perc tests and installation, as well as taking 3+ months to swap out. I decided I'd try a cheaper option or two before dropping $40 grand. I looked around for about 2 weeks learning what I could about how septic tanks worked and the problems people have with them. I learned that if the leach field won't drain properly but the pipes haven't collapsed that there might be something called bio-mat keeping it from draining. Bio-mat is a layer of bacteria from the water in the pipes that forms under the leach field acting almost like a tarp, blocking water from absorbing into the soil the way it should. I found a youtube video of a woman in Florida using this to get rid of the bio-mat and recover her system. Willing to drop $100 or so to avoid spending $40,000 I bought 4 bottles of this and 4 bottles of leach and drain field treatment (also from roebic). I used 1 bottle of each every 2 weeks for 2 months and then set up subscribe and save for 2 bottles every month. It's been 3 months and so far no bubbles from the toilet, the line to my distribution box looks clear with no standing water in it. Fingers crossed this may have fixed my problems for about 1% of what I was told it would cost me. I LOVE THIS COMPANY. Could not be happier. This is absolutely worth trying before replacing a leach field unless they run the camera down the actual field lines and confirm collapsed pipes.

This product will work. The issue is that it says 'Emergency'. It doesn't work that fast on a septic tank that has a blockage and has backed up into the house. I am still waiting for my septic system to clear six days later. The system is beginning to clear but still backs up if we try to shower or if we flush a toilet. I expect something that says 'emergency' to be more efficient and work much more quickly. I will be using more with the hope it is going to clear up our problem soon. UPDATE: Okay, it has taken me thirty bottles of this product to get my septic system working again. This was adding a bottle once or twice a week. The first two weeks, I put three bottles into the system each week, that is six bottles in the first two weeks. Again, for a product that claims it is meant to be used in 'emergency' situations, it should not take this many bottles or so many months--yes, months, to get the problem resolved.

My drain field was clogged and tank was overfull. I had the tank pumped. There was a blockage in the drain field. Although I did dig up a small hole to access the drain field where it connects to the outflow and D box, I cleaned the drain field pipe by cutting a 2" hole in the top of the pipe. I then used a pressure washer with a jet end on it and feed it as far as I could on each side of the hole I cut. Then I poured the Roebic into the hole I cut. I monitored it every few days and found that the system was draining better than ever. The pea gravel around the pipe I dug down to was clean and If I added water from a hose it drained immediately. Now I realize that I did some of the repair by jetting the line with the pressure washer and removed some restriction, but even after that was done it didnt drain well from the holes in the drain field pipe. I can assure you the Roebic helped eat away what was left and into the pea gravel so things can drain and not sit in the pipe and get backed up again. On a side note. I was able to measure from inserting the garden hose or pressure washer hose into the outflow of the tank to the D box as to how far that was and then dug a small hole to access the D box. I then did the same thing to measure how far the drain field "T" was from there. That way I knew right where to dig. After cutting the 2" hole in the top of the pipe I cut a small piece of extra pipe about 8" long and then slit it up the side. This way I could put this piece of pipe over the hole I just cut like a clamp. That way no dirt will fall into the hole when I bury it again. I hope this helps someone in the future. Septic failure can be an expensive and stressful time. I added a second bottle 2 weeks later and then filled in the hole. Its been 2 months and there are no problems.

Works good. Any time I washed three small loads of clothes or ran the dishwasher and did one load of clothes our toilets would make bubbling sounds and I'd see a wet spot on the ground were the septic is. . So anytime we left for days. We added it. Maybe it took 4 treatments. Now I just add it now and then. Haven't heard the bubbling or see the wet spot anymore. Oh and it's just my husband and I . We do entertain plus we had Airbnb . No Airbnb anymore. I'm thinking something was flushed that shouldn't had been. It's all working good now. Thanks to this. And it didn't cost a lot. Now I have peace of mind when guest are here.

We had our septic system inspected before moving into our house in October '23. Overall it was in decent condition apart from the field pipes being partially blocked (it was suggested they be replaced). I figured I could try this Roebic product to delay this massive expense. An online forum suggested doing the treatment twice in the space of 2 weeks, and following up 6 months later with the Roebic Leach & Drain field product (which I purchased at the same time as this one). So far so good!

Delivered in 3 days , awesome. Easy to use , however it’s only been a week in my septic system, so time will tell.

Not sur if it worked but always fun to have a good working system

We purchased a country home last fall and were told it needed a new septic system. Well every month I add a bottle of this to my toilet and refrain from flushing all paper products. It is almost a year later and the system remains functional. A small price to pay for a monthly bottle of magic, instead of $41k for a new system! Please try this and add often to help you save the system you have. As it really does work.
