If it is an actual tank - four sides, top and bottom - and it spews
dirty water then that means the tank isn't draining. If the tank isn't
draining, it means that either there is an obstruction in the outlet to
the drain field - OR - that the drain lines themselves are clogged - OR
- that the soil around the drain pipes is clogged. Or any combination
of the preceding.

In any case, you need someone who does that stuff for a living to come
look/diagnose.

Last I heard, he's got a pumper coming out. And they
plan to pressure wash the inside walls of the tank.


That sounds like a wonderful job......




The history of usage of the tank is uncertain, so
it's wise to get someone out who knows this kind
of thing. Thank you.

As I and others have said, from your description it sounds
like a cesspool. Made out of cement blocks, it's not a tank
and it's designed to let water leach out.
