Brown and black sludge in sump pit
My sump pump pit water has recently turned black and a thick, mud like gunk is coming in from the pipes to the sump pit. The pit is also putting off a pretty bad odor. Plumber has never seen this before and has no idea what the cause or fix would be but says something is definitely wrong. Has anyone experienced this before? What could it be? I’m on a well with a lot of iron and have a septic tank.
