I'm curious, has anyone out there used products with high bacteria and enzymes to restore failed septic fields? I have puddling in what I believed to be my leachfield area. I am considering gambling on a product with 2.5-10 billion bacteria counts per gram to remedy what I believe is failed leachfield due to several years of use.

I just bought a parcel of land with an old mobile home which is to be demolished and hauled away. I would like to put down a slab and use the old well and septic for a travel trailer I am going to put on it and use on weekends. The well looks like the pipe has broken off from the ground and there is no cap on it. I doubt the pump still works. The septic has some brush growth around it, but not too bad. Onc corner of the tank is sticking slightly out of the ground. What steps do I need to take to rehab these utilities and would it be cost effective? What kind of pitfalls can I expect and what would be a ballpark estimate - best case/worst case scenarios? Since they have not been in operation for probably over ten years, what can I expect from rural zoning if I were to apply for a new well or septic on another part of the property? Thanks for your help!!
