Grey water tank not draining
My washer water and sump pump water both go out into the same grey water tank. Recently the water has been backing up into the sump pump or washer depending on which one is being used. I dug up the well and found that the water is not draining due to sludge build up from soap and lint. The sludge is on the walls, in the drain spaces between bricks and covering the base of the well which is covered with small stones. This tank has been used for about 16 years without a problem. The water has been drained using a portable sump pump. I poured 2 bottles of chemical (can't remember what it was called) and 2 packets of this monthly flush stuff into the tank to try and eat up the sludge on the bottom of the tank but it does not seem to be going away. Is there something that I can use to get rid of the sludge? Any suggestions?
