Hello, we are in the process of buying a home and during our home inspection...The septic fluid tank (mound system) was dry and the inspector said that was unusual and could be a leak...we went back on a rainy day and the fluid tank was over filled with power shut off...turned on power and the pump turned on and emptied fluid tank to about 1 1/2 feet below inlet and outlet pipes and solid tank, even after 20 minutes, had clear liquid flowing through pipe to fluid tank...is this unusual...does this mean there is a leak in the tanks? What could be cause? What testing should be done? And possible costs to fix? This house was vacant for 2 years?
