There were a lot of frozen septic systems last
year - very cold and no snow for insulation.
Since it is early for that kind of problem are you
sure the tank is frozen? It is more common
for the line to the tank from the house to
freeze. Does the line run in an area that is
plowed, shoveled, or driven over? If so that is
likely where the line froze. Some plumbers
have the equipment to thaw the line.
For future to prevent it is possible to dig up the
area and put several strips foam board over
the line . You could also burry a heating cable
in the trench below the insulation to provide
some heat if it happens again.
