How much does a septic tank inspection cost, or can you do it yourself?
You should have a pumper inspect your system to determine if the accumulation of solid waste is too high and needs to be removed.

The cost of a professional septic tank inspection can vary widely, depending upon where you live and what size and type of septic tank you have. It may be best to call the manufacturer of your specific septic tank or visit their website to determine the price range of such an inspection.
How to Clean a Septic Tank?
An overfilled septic tank can cause backups in a sewer line, causing many problems in a plumbing system. If a septic tank has overflowed, it is usually clogged with excessive organic debris. A septic tank cleaner can be a good first step when treating a septic tank overflow. Septic tank cleaners contain natural bacteria and enzymes, designed to break down organic material in human waste. Excessive disposal of bleach and detergents into a septic line can kill these bacteria, preventing the breakdown of septic waste in a tank. If a septic cleaner doesn't clear a tank after a week, it may be necessary to use a professional septic tank cleaning service.
