Checked the cesspool
Tue, 2008/09/23 - 6:19pm — Benjamin Melançon
Just one inch below the pipe. Given relatively light usage (me out of town a lot, Mom just left Sunday), that's not great.
Called the septic people and set up a Monday morning appointment to pump it out.

Follow-up on levels before and after pumping.
When he opened to pump it, it was an inch and a half above the bottom of the pipe.
After they pumped we were gone for two days. And it rained a lot just before I checked. The water level was four-to-five feet below the pipe. That's probably the groundwater level.
