Septic Tank Repair Blog, Do It Yourself and Save
Honey, The Septic Tank's Acting Up Again!
This section contains the experiences of families that have septic tanks. If your onsite waste disposal septic system (usually a septic tank with a drainfield / leach field) started acting up, and you found a way to get it working again, please share that information with others.
On the other hand, if you thought something would work but it didn't, please let us know that also.
The septic tank problem might be broken pipe, roots, leech field failure, high water table or something else. It might just be bad septic tank design. For whatever reason, the wastewater isn't leaving your house and now you have a very unpleasant backup and possibly expensive septic repair. And, it's an environmental problem!
E-mail your answers to webmaster -AT- swopnet.com. What was the problem? What did you do to fix it? How long ago? Did it work?
Check back from time to time to see what others have said about septic systems, grey water / gray water, composting toilets and even outhouses! (Caution: Do your research before purchasing a composting toilet. You may find that your septic tank problems weren't so bad after all.)
