When we received our stimulus check, nobody - not the US government, and certainly not us - anticipated that we would be using the money to stimulate the flow of crap, but that's what happened.
As I reported a couple weeks ago HERE we have been dealing with sewer issues. Replacing the compressed pipes did not solve the problem.
We finally got a surveyor's transit and determined that the pipe at the house was 4 1/2 inches lower than the pipe as it entered the septic tank. I don't know if the house settled or the tank raised but the effect is the same - sewage does not flow uphill!
The solution - a Zoellar lift station - a tank with an automatic pump that sends the effluent to the septic tank at a maximum rate of over 7,000 gallons per hour. It has been working for almost a week now, and so far so good.
