Greetings from California. When I lived in a trailer park years ago, we had to put a combination of sugar and something else down our sewers to keep them uncloigged and free flowing. I would like to find someone who knows of a combination besides going out and buying RID in the store. I know that it is sugar but I don't remember what the other ingredient was. I usually use baking soda and vinegar for the drains, but that is not the same. If you can help, please contact me here or at: xxxxxx. Thanks ahead of time!

2 cups brown sugar
5 cups warm water
1 tablespoon baker's yeast
Stir sugar and yeast into the warm water until dissolved. Pour the solution into the toilet and flush. Wait 30 minutes before flushing again to allow the yeast time to work.
To prevent problems in the septic system, avoid putting any of the following substances down a drain or toilet: fats, cooking oil, or household-cleaning solvents; automotive fluids; nonbiodegradable materials such as cigarette butts, disposable diapers, or feminine products; or any toxic substances such as pesticides or herbicides. Try spacing loads of laundry throughout the week instead of all in one day. Use environmentally friendly cleaning products that will not harm the bacteria in the septic tank.
Make sure septic tanks are properly sized and maintained. Have tank cleaned every 3 to 5 years by a professional. Also, make sure the drain field is adequate and that the soil is able to process the effluent.
