Our septic system froze up on us last night. We believe it was due to no snow coverage. Our system is three years old and is designed to pump up to the D box and drain back to the septic tank. The septic line is about 50' in length. It is 4' down and travels under a black top drive for about 20 feet of the 50 feet. Does anyone have any recommendation as to how to prevent water from freezing in the septic line? Is there anything on the market such as electrical heat wiring that could be installed inside the septic pipe that would prevent any water from freezing? Any ideas would be greatly appreciate.
