We've had so much rain and the water table is so high that our septic field isn't leaching properly and we need the tank pumped again.
That happens to me too when we get a couple days of rain. Backed up into bathtubs one time. That was a mess.
My wife is menopausal. She keeps it 66 in our house. If I put it on 68 she turns it back down to 66. I finally gave up.
My wife passed that stage several years ago. Now she likes it 90 or better.
My lord. I can't take heat anymore.
Definitely strange weather. Different than most years.
I figure you guys might never get away with it there......but when I installed my field lines, I ran the last section out in the woods till the gravel bed was flush with the ground. If it gets saturated, it can drain out there.
The stuff I used on the house is made by Sashco, it is very good but also very expensive. It’s a real oil base product that you need thinner for cleanup.
We’ve had a similar deal. The gray water is running out of both ends of the sand mound. Can’t tell me those fukkin things are any better than a leach field. The old house has a 45 year old leach field and you’d never know it was there even in the wettest year.
Septic Guy came and inspected the system, pump is dead $1700 to replace. I leave town in the morning and don't have time to shop around or supply the pump myself. (nor am I motivated to play in a tank of *s-word...)
In some more rural areas you can get away with that, we certainly can't. On our size of lot we aren't even allowed to have a field anymore, any new permit pulled would require removing the field and going to a second or larger holding only tank.
Our gray water doesn't go into the septic tank. Over the hill and off into the woods.....
Good info there, I made notes. Thanks for taking the time to reply.
