Okay having some trouble with our septic tank. It is full??


This is the clean out for the kitchen drains. It keeps on over flowing. 


Okay it is a tool for backed up lines, sewers and drains. It grow from 11/2" to 3" Take your mind out of the sewer. It is a PLUMBING  TOOL. Okay you screw this on a stiff garden hose and push it down the line. You get as far as you can, then turn the water on and let it do it's job. It will blow up to block the water from backing up to you. Then the water stream will have a high volume and water pushing forward the junk or what ever is stuck in the line should push it down the line. This time it really didn't do anything. 


You can see why? YES MY SEPTIC TANK IS FULL, 
Hey folks, this was one of my jobs many years ago, 1988 to 1999. I ran a Vac Con Truck (Vacuum truck) A T.V. truck and many other vehicles at the time. Making $13.00 bucks a hour. PLUS many hours of over time. My main job was for the sewer lines. Really only cleaned out a couple of grease traps. 
Okay back to this project. I called out Reliable Septic Services. They have done work for Jeanne before. So they came out and sucked this holding tank out. 
Afterwards I asked them about the Lift station. 



This is the lift station. They told me all is well with this. He pushed up on the balls hanging there and the alarm went off. So it does work.
Still not sure why the holding tank was so full? I asked, they  said everything is working correctly. 




You can see it really was a job to get the top off of this. They used a pry bar and just kept hitting the sides until to opened up. I went to the back in one of our sheds and found this 3/4 pipe and tried pulling it up. It bent it pretty good. 
Okay now they are trying to get to the filter (screen) that is to caught the solids before they go out to the drain field. 
They tried to get it off, but the guy that put it together, used a 90 fitting to attack it. It is very hard to get to. So now I have them coming back to fit that. Cut the block top off and put a new fitting and filter on. 
The real sad part is, the guys told me that they (company) did this job back in 1992. Replace the tank and put in the filter. Okay now what? 
Okay so I am waiting now, for them to come back and repair that today. The girl in the office told me that they will call e 30 minutes before they come out. Okay can I run a couple of Door Dashes?  
Better not!!!
To suck out the tank it cost, $350.00 
To repair the filter and put a new lid on, another $700.00. Folks this house is costing us a little fortune.
Now you can understand why I do Door Dash and side jobs. It cost money for pretty much everything we do to up graded this house.  
On Door Dash alone this last week, I made $250.+
Hey if I can keep on Door Dashing and side jobs, I can help my baby pay for things like this too. 
Hey great news is Jesus Loves you and ME. That is the GREATNESS NEW EVER.
