We've had so much rain letely that the leach field in my cabin's septic system is backfilling the tank and flooding the sewage lines in the cabin. I think this comes from the fact that in order to gravity drain, my leach field is sitting in a trench cut into the clay that's about 5-6 feet below the sand around the cabin. The rainwater flooded the trench and (I guess) there's enough hydrostatic pressure from the water in the sand above the field that it flows the wrong way...back into the tank. On the good side, there isn't any sewage in it yet because we haven't completed the plumbing.

Obviously, I need to fix this. Unfortunately the gentleman that installed the system last summer had a stroke last spring and shut down his operation. Menawhile, you could say that I'm up ***** creek.

I wonder if I could add a sump with a couple of lift pumps and convert this jewel into a low pressure dose system?

Comments?
