We recently moved into a 1966 house in Michigan and have a septic tank for the first time. I'm told that the tank and leak field were replaced about 2 years ago. I recently discovered that when we use water in any fixture in the house, that the flow from the footing drains into the sump crock increases. I dumped a couple of gallons of expired milk into the kitchen sink and sure enough the sump crock turned white.
I'm surprised that the footing drains are connected to the waste water system. Is this ok?
The sump pump discharges into the septic tank as well. Is this ok?
Do I need to get a plumber out here to investigate and separate the systems? Of course it's a finished basements with carpet over a concrete floor.
Thanks,
Brad
