Seriously though, you need to get Environmental Health, or whatever your version is, involved.

That reservoir of liquid poo is a health hazard.
 
Can we get a close up of the septic overflow?

Move out of the way...and zoom in!!!

Please keep us informed about the issues with the Septic tank


Other than that - with the Mods permissions - you could start a thread about yourself, and tell us about plumbing in the USA.


By the way Gasman - we call the 'brown tints' a
" Vegemite Stripe "

Haha. I'm hispanic, so I was trying to blend in by adding the brown :) And those aren't roots!! Its ombre... I promise im not slacking on my dye job. Thats intentional :)

And I will post an up close view… but NOT from outside. You'll have to peak out my window
 
My biggest concern is my baby girl. And the fumes… after I was told about the dangers, I made the mistake of Googling it. Now I'm convinced we're going to end up disfigured mutants!! By sundown!!!
 
Are we absolutely certain the septic tank is full and overflowing? or could it be a blocked drain on the interceptor just before the tank which is backing up through the manhole cover?
 
Open the septic tank cover and check the level.

If its lower than the flood, try rodding, or it may need a jet machine. If its level with the flood, then it needs sucking out.

All septic tanks need emptying from time to time to remove solids. Also its important to watch what goes down them as this can affect performance. Avoid chlorine bleach / cleaning compounds, paint brush cleaners and other similar products as this inhibits digestion of the waste matter.
 
She's in the USA, no interceptor trap, the septic tanks lid will be burried ( never visible). the blockage will probably be in the "Drainfield" . Tank definately needs pumping, . And as said earlier ,be careful what is put down toilets etc.....
