Ditto here. My pump switch went out last weekend and I spent Friday morning digging trenches to let the water run off so we could fix it. It’s finally fixed but I am sick of having a waterlogged yard.
Yep, septic tank sucks when there’s just flat nowhere for the water to go. Ground is saturated!
You should smell my front yard where my septic lines are. 💩💩💩 I think the neighbors are ready to go fund me connecting to the sewer system. Can't remember the last time the yard perked.
What?
Bwhahahahahaha! It’s terrible down here! 75 degrees and sunny, it took me a while to remember wha the sun looked and felt like! Shorts and t shirt weather!
Ever lived in a city where there was so much rain that it somehow overwhelms the storm drain lines and backs up the sewer lines? The entire neighborhood will have the contents of their basement out on the curb within a couple days. Lord help you if you have a carpeted floors and finished walls in your basement, you're in for some serious bacteria and mold issues.
Only a dozen houses in this neighborhood of probably 60 houses connected to the sewer system when the city graced us by running sewer through the neighborhood. We didn't want it but you can't stop city hall. We got charged big time per linear foot of road frontage when they ran it and had to pay for the hookup whether you hooked up to it or not. I get the tanked pumped every two years but I might change it to a year if this damnable rain keeps up. Won't be able buy a drop of rain this summer when the garden needs it, if the ground dries up enough to plant one.
