Too much disinfectant, fungicide, chlorine, antimicrobial detergent, etc. will kill the bacteria that is essential to break down the solids of effluent (the yuck stuff), hindering the septic system's performance.

There are many products on the market today that can rejuvenate the bacteria colony in a septic system. Visit your local home improvement center or market to obtain.
