We had our septic tank repaired yesterday by the landlord - he turned off the water. Well, since then we have had extremely low water pressure in all lines. From reading all the helpful posts, I know that the backhoe probably knocked major gunk into the water pipes. Any way that we can fix it? Or should we just contact the property management's plumber tomorrow?
Thanks!

Your pipes need to be flushed clear. This should be done in stages. First the water service line should be opened and flushed clear. Then every line and faucet that's got low pressure should be opened up and flushed out. This is a time consuming operation and since the septic tank company caused it your landlord should come back on them. Since you're renters the responsibility falls back on the landlord, along with the expense, if he can't come to terms with the septic tank people. Good luck, Tom
