Island Septic Service

We have a pump-up leach field on Welch. Recently we noticed some surface effluent about where we think that the distribution box is located. Looking for someone to diagnose the issue so repair can be scheduled for early spring.
ISS does not do this type of work but Chip suggested Island Service Company (ISC). I called ISC however they can’t do anything this year. (As an aside ISC pumped our tank last summer but failed to inspect a pump chamber issue as they had promised. On the pumping invoice was a note saying that they would be back to do address the pump chamber. However shortly after my check cleared, they said that they would not be able to come back).

Calls to Lamprey Septic two days running have not been returned.

An email to Winni Island Services was answered, they are booked for the rest of the year.
Any suggestions?

Alan

P.S. I do have a soil probe on order if we have to resort to DIY.
