Septic House, Open Vent Pipe Overflowed.

Don’t know pluming and the Ladies house. So my Lady had a contractor that did a crap job and ripped her off for tens of thousands. The plumbing has always given us issues. It’s a septic house and a “vent” pipe goes out but was capped. Was told by contractor when we had problems a few years back to open it and it always helped. After a while they said just keep it open. Come today I went around the property and found a huge pile of fecal waste and TP below it. I have shoveled some into bags but we have neighbors close to this. I have since closed the PVC pipe. I don’t know what to do with this waste that’s still there and now the toilets won’t flush. I assume I must get the septic pumped but beyond that what else am I looking at? We have minimal funds. submitted by /u/Shionkron [link] [comments]
