I was mowing the lawn today, and discovered a very soggy spot. right where the sepric tank is supposed to be. I did some probing to locate the tank, then drained a half-full bathtub as a test. Result: Mini-geysers from some of the holes I made.
Looks like my 21-year-old tank isn't draining. I've never had it pumped out, since I didn't believe a single user would fill it up.
I have a service company coming out tomorrow to check it out. Best case:: The tank is full of solids, blocking the outlet. Worst case: Tree roots (lots of trees) have clogged the field pipes.
Any ideas on what I might expect to pay for either case, a pump-out or a new leach field.
