i just had my septic tank pumped out, within a week or so i have noticed a puddle over the access top , throughout the day it subsides ,but after laundry and showers it reappears. this seems to be unsettling to me and the rest of us in the house, this has never happened in our 11 years of living here. any input on this will be greatly appreciated

this sounds familar to me, let water go down and pull the lid off and check the outlet pipe for signs of roots or clogs. check your baffle and if its not a tee baffle then put one in. by now your lateral lines or probably clogged good luck oh and if you work on it be careful cause there is not oxygen in the tank so you can pass out and fall in
