Our septic is 16ish years old this year. Never pumped it. Been thinking about doing it, so this thread is somewhat timely.
A couple years ago I noticed that our drain field had a wet spot over top of one of the lines. I dumped some Roebic fix-in-a-bottle in the toilet, as directed by the label, and it fixed it right up.
Our local septic company is called
All
Star
Septic. The used to fly a large flag at end of their driveway for their storage yard that just had their initials on it, but people were offended.
