Hi,
We have a sewage tank in the basement that collects and pumps waste water out to our septic tank. It was installed last month by a licenced plumber. The pipes would clang at a certain point during the laundry cycle so today my husband strapped/secured the pipe that ejects the water to the outside world.
After a load of laundry I noticed water on top of the lid of the sewage basin. It is leaking quite quickly from the pipe my husband strapped, where the pipe enters the basin.
Did he break a seal at that connection? We had to unplug the basin/pump to stop it from leaking. Today's a holiday and we can't afford a plumber to come out today.
Any advice? My husband's a contractor and very capable... he just doesn't know plumbing!
Thank you for any information or suggestions!
