We had our septic tank emptied yesterday. The top sits about two feet deep in our sandy soil. It's made of fiberglass, or at least the top is. When uncovering it, a couple of smallish holes were found. The biggest about three inches diameter. The guy was able to pump it out through the hole. He never uncovered the lid. He said the tank should be replaced and gave me the names and number of four local people who do such work.
I guess my question is: Do you really think that we need to replace the whole tank? It probably won't need to be emptied again in our lifetime. (we're 64) It's been ten years since it was last emptied and was only about a foot deep in sludge. It's a 750 gallon tank. I'm thinking we could just cover up the holes with something and cover it up again. Why pay a couple thousand dollars to replace the whole tank? And, if we do just cover it up, what should we do about the two or three small holes? Patch them somehow, or just lay something over the holes and bury them? I suspect the holes were caused by the guy digging around to find the lid, so I doubt there are any more holes.

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
