Septic Issues...

[datejust24]

So this is completely unrelated to watches but I figure I would get some of you guys' opinions on the matter because I simply don't know..

My wife and I closed on our home that was built in the late 50's on July 7th I believe of '12 and didn't move in until mid September. This past Sunday, while walking around picking up sticks etc. in the back yard I noticed a considerable amount of water near my distribution box riser so I lifted the lid off of it and it was completely full...to the point of running over. I immediately called my father in law who owned a plumbing company for quite some time. He came over and we pumped it out to see if we could find any obvious blockages or what not and of course we didn't. We then purchased a product that I believe is called Rid-X to clear out any potential roots etc. that may have blocked a line in my leech beds. This product takes a few days to work so right now im just kind of waiting it out to see if that makes any difference.

I found an invoice from some work that had been done by a local company from right before we purchased the home that stated 2 of my leech bed lines were jetted and my septic was pumped. Turns out the guy who owns that company that did the work knows my father in law very well...This mans name is Ed and Ed called me this morning to let me know that basically not all by A LOT of people that live on my side of the street are having very similar issues and there are a couple alternatives to try before we move forward with replacing the whole septic system...to the tune of about $35,000....having just purchased this home less than a year ago, I do have a warranty on the house...not really sure what all that covers but I just wanted to get some of your opinions. Please keep in my that I just got this news less than 2 hours ago so I haven't had a chance to look through any of the home warranty paperwork etc. and I am extremely worried to say the least...any input is very much appreciated.
