Be aware that due to massive amount of problems with posters from GMAIL,
many readers of this newsgroup filter out all posts that come from @gmail
like your original post. *

Your post needs as wide an audience as you can get. There is a remote
chance that the leach field for your septic tank system may be in some
way influencing the extra moisture in your sump pumps. *

Also, with 3 acres of land I suspect your sump pumps would be directed to
a dry well (hole in ground filled with rocks and covered with dirt and
sod.) *Rain fall in this wet summer may have soaked land around you and
dry well is saturated.

I am not an expert on this. *Please post back about where you are
located, i.e.: dry southwest, Upper Midwest, Great lakes region, East
coast shore line. *If you are in Iowa flood plain, or Mississippi valley,
go away until next year.


I am in Ohio. Unfortunately, leaving home isn't an option for me.
haha... Wish I could sometimes though. I don't know much about the
septic system it's self. Are there any good resources I could tap
into to educate myself before I call people to correct this issue?
