I can't help with a solution, but have a fun story. In my old home town, all the ground is basically solid volcanic rock, with just a bit of sand covering things up. Years ago they figured out it was basically impossible to dig leach pits to dispose of septic water, so instead, they would just drill a 4" or so "well" down to the nearest fracture in the rock, and run the water down there to be disposed of... Well over time these "drill holes" get plugged with "stuff" and back up. every few years they need treated with caustic soda, or lye to clear them up, but when I was about 8 years old, none of the regular solutions would work, so one old plumber says "Call ol' "Jim", tell him your problem, but don't tell him I gave you his number" So a fella of about 80 shows up with an old pickup with a case of dynamite, and blasting box, lowers one stick down, lights er off, black "water" shoots up 10' out of the ground, and he says "nope, to high try er again"...... Well, after the 4th blast the "black water" only shoots up about 3' above the top of the hole, he says " just right, ya should be good as new" Think it was another 20 years before we had to give the drill hole another lye treatment.
