Having the septic tank pumped is so much easier than a major clog. Our septic system is old and riddled with tree roots so we have to have it pumped once a year. That less than $200. We had to get a quote for a clog in the main line once and it was soooo much more.

let us know how this works out. I had a similar issue when I lived in the country. Ended up having it emptied and it was cheaper than I thought.

I believe that's bad for a septic tank. I shouldn't even use a garbage disposal is what I was told so I don't. I've had a main pipe clogged but when that happened nothing drained out and the plumber plunged from the roof. That cost more than getting a tank drained.

I agree except we have savings so if it comes to it I'll just take money from there. I just hate to do it.

Unless your brother is a plumber and can take care of a clog for you :) he also gave me the name of some root killing stuff to use just in case tree roots are impacting it.

I don't even know what that is.
It's the pre tank where the pump is. Replacing mine was almost a grand :x

I think my city doesn't even allow repairs. They want us on city sewer. I said do a grant and I will.
