+1. Let it be and see how it goes. I had a scare this past spring. Had a TP and turd overflow situation out the vent in the yard between the house and tank. Immediately made the appointment with the pumper. Dug up the lid up for the pumper and the tank was maybe 75% full? It wound-up being a plug in the U-trap between the house and tank. The pumper fella simply dropped the suction hose down the vent and [insert massive suction noise] whammo! it was clear. It nearly sucked my house in like a crushed pop can! My plumbing has never flowed better. Regardless, I am definitely nervous about when I have to replace the who thing. A 56yr/old system is not too common!
