How does your septic system really work?

For some reason, the minute that my husband walks out the door for a long day at work is when the bad things begin happening around my home. Most recently, the problem was the sounding alarm of the septic system. I had never heard that odd buzzing coming from my basement before, so I wondered around looking for the source.

By the time my husband got home, the septic had backed up into the house. Since then, I have made it a priority to learn about my septic system and have filled my site with information for other women or men that are clueless about how septic systems work and how to prevent the mess I spent days cleaning up.
