We have had a new septic system for 3 years and have had nothing but problems.
I currently have a company trying to fix it and they do not know what is wrong.
It is not pumping.
The pump is on and seems to be working, but nothing is getting pumped. They checked the pipe and there is no blockage. A few months back we had the same problem so they upgraded the pump from 1/3 to 1/2 HP (3rd pump in as many years). It appears that we still have a problem. They said the 1/2 HP should be more than enough. The pipe being used is 2" PVC.
I am a little concerned about them not being able to figure it out. Does anyone have any ideas what the septic company may be overlooking?
Thanks!
