Dear Mr. and Mrs. Glew:
This letter is to follow up my inspection of your septic
system today. I hope the following comments and observations
will be helpful to you.
1. The inside main floor plumbing leaves the house
about 3'-4' below ground level. The se,ptic tank
covers are about 6' below the surface and based on my
inspection in 1981 the tanks are probably designed to
have a 3-4' liquid depth.
2. The level of effluent in the two inspection pipe --
indicates that water is standing in the house sewer
line, which will cause clogging of that line if the
condition persists.
3. The reason for the "backup" of effluent above the
tank covers is unknown at this point, but could be
related to clogging of the cesspool seepage ports
or in the drainfield (if one exists).
I would suggest that when the ground dries out you
uncover the tanks to determine their condition and the
presence or absence of drainfield.
At that time I will be happy to help you further evaluate
what repairs to the system might be necessary and what
procedure to follow. If you have any questions, please
call me.
Sincerely,
Michae P.
