A recent posting about septic tank pumping hit my hot button - makes me think probing ours would be a good idea.
House built in 2007, vacant for 2-3 years, we bought it in 2012. Usually just two occupants.
Has not been pumped to my knowledge.
So I'm ready to probe to determine sludge level. My idea is to use a length of 1.5" PVC with a cap on the end.
How will I "feel" the bottom of the liquid and the top of the sludge. Will it be "obvious"? Or will I need to take samples at various depths?
