The sewer pipes are running slow. Thought the septic tank might need pumping. Opened it and everything is good. Tank drain is open, but flow into the septic is very weak to no flow. Can't get a snake though from inside so I must have some roots or broken tiles outside. I see some of the original cast iron sewage pipes in the basement are getting pretty weak due to rust. The gray water pipe could be replaced as well. This is all original from about 1956. At that time the gray water was diverted around the septic and joined with the septic water down stream from the septic tank. If I redo some of these pipes in the basement it would be a great deal easier to mix the sewer lines with the waste water lines in the house and run everything through the septic. I understand this is the norm today - that gray water must be treated. Old septic systems tried to keep the waste water out because lye which was the primary detergent killed the septic bacteria. Is this the case??? Can I dump gray water into the sewer pipe anywhere or should they be combined at the exit point of the basement? Thanks for you ideas.
