Great news. I bought a house and the septic tank passed an inspection. A few months later something was bothering me. My spidey sense was tingling. I called out someone to check the septic tank. They pulled off the cement cap and the 1940 brick and mortar wall of the septic tank moved 3 inches. Oh, and there was an inch between the water and the cap.
That hunch paid off. Disaster avoided. $7000 later I had a new septic tank and I had them put in a new leach field into the front yard instead of the back yard for livestock reasons.
The lesson here is that this whole situation can be fixed for less than $10,000. It worked for me so it has to work for the whole internet, right?

But they never tell you how much the fetuses (fetti?) end up clogging the sewage system… Unrelated, the local kitties get fed pretty well 😺
