My Kitchen Sink has been draining to a dry well for over 40+ years, well before we bought the house. The drain is backing up and I would believe the dry well is shot. I want to run a drain line to our septic. Can I attach another Tee to the clean out and run the drain line to that?:rolleyes:

Not a good idea to connect a kitchen sink directly to a septic tank, especially if you have a disposal. The crud and grease from the sink gets out in the drain field and plugs up the drain holes causing backups. You may still be able connect to the septic tank if you install a grease trap, (see image) in the ground between the sink and the tank. This way the grease and crud will be trapped before it can clog your septic system. Good luck, Tom
