Hi

I do not know if this is the correct forum but i guess everyone who posts in this forum has a septic tank.

I had a new septic tank built 3 years ago. I had to have the tank emptyed today as it backed up to the bathroom.

The system i put in has a main tank from the bathroom with an over flow tank at the back of that with a pump in it that is supposed to pump the water up a hill to a raised soak-age bed.

I think the pump has a floating switch attached to it. Today both the main tank and the overflow tank were full of water.

Has anyone encountered this situation before? How long are these pumps supposed to last? How much do the cost to replace? Is it an electrician or plumber i need? I am located on the Galway roscommon border. Does anyone know of someone who would be able to replace the pump? I am assuming that it is the pump that is at fault.

Thanks for any info.

This crowd provided a pump for the same job for my folks, think they have engineers all over the country, worth a call at least.

OP, you'd probably be more likely to be answered by experts/professionals in the field over in the Construction & Planning forum.
