My Septic Is Being Clogged with White Chunks of Something?
Water started coming up from my septic so i dug it up, and opened it. To find big white hard chunks. The chunks seem to be clogging the septic. I have no idea what the chunks would be. My laundry runs on a seprate line so I dont believe it is laundry soap. I also use liquid washing detergent for my dish washer so it couldnt be that. Any one have any suggestions?
and it dont believe its grease either… i have never poured grease down my drain. I heard that it could be maybe hair dye?

Could be compacted toilet tissue…
Maybe tampons or grease. Please don’t tell me you pour your grease down the drain.
GREASE IS A SEPTICS WORST ENEMY.
LET ALL DRAINS DRY FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS. THEN FLOOD EVERY SINK ESPECIALLY THE KITCHEN WITH A DEGREASER.
"PURPLE" IS BRAND NAME FOR A GOOD DEGREASER, USUALLY SOLD IN AUTO PARTS STORES. REPEAT PERIODICALLY.
I agree with the above answer. It’s grease. I would try using Super Clean. It’s in a big purple bottle.
If tampons are flushed down the toilet, that is the problem. The microbes in the septic tank won’t digest them. If tampons ARE flushed, this practice needs to stop immediately.
