Need help with pumping septic

[AchingBack]

How much land do you have? How close are and how well do you get along with your neighbors? Are the authorities well aware of your predicament? I won't tell you what to do, but years ago when I had more energy than money I did some surreptitious sanitary engineering.

Yup. **** happens. Had a neighbor who pumped his own onto a field. I don't recommend it.

Haven't heard from the OP in a bit. I still say call around to different pump out companies... tell them to bring extra hose for 300ft and pay them a little extra for the trouble. If it is down hill from the tank the suction and length isn't a problem. Watched my neighbor do this across my 1.5acre property. Don't mess around with it yourself.

Here is a drain field tip if you have trees nearby, make an access hole in the distribution box, an every 6 months dump a pound of copper sulfate in . It keeps the roots out, my drain field goes right through oaks and pines still not clogged 36 years old.
