Conventional System. Three 500 gallon tanks. Pump in 3rd tank. 2 bath house. 2 adults 3 kids under 7.
In Nov 2020, the shower started draining slow. I hired a clean-out crew, they pumped out all three tanks. The float for the pump was messed up. Everything worked after that.
Last night I notice water on top of the third tank(we have had lots of rain the last few days.)
I pulled the caps and all three tanks are full. Bypassed the float and the pump did not turn on. Ran another sump pump in the third tank to get some of the water out.
Replaced the Sump pump but it looks like the leach line is clogged. Water is coming out of the union. I tried snaking the lines but there are too many 90 degree turns.
Anything else to do before I rent an excavator?
