today I woke up to no water in my house. Went out to check the pump and found it running constantly pressure gauge is hanging around 85 ( which is were it usually is at) There is water at the Spicket in the well house but no water in the house. I have no idea what could possibly be wrong with it. Not thinking it's frozen pipes because we have a heater under the house where the water usually freezes. Called a Plummer and they stated that it is the jet is clogged and not pulling water up from the ground there for there isn't pressure to push water in the house and it's only at the pump and the reason the gauge is reading 85 is because it's broke.Any suggestions before I pay to have them come look at it.

I bought a house a few months ago in North Carolina, it's the first house I've lived in that has a septic system. I've read a lot about the proper care that is required and to be careful about planting anything close to the tank and drain field. There aren't any trees in our front or back yard, I'm considering putting a Crab Apple or Dogwood tree in the front or back yard but I want to make sure I know the location of the septic tank and drainfield first. I went through all the closing paperwork for our house and I find the septic tank inspection paperwork. It says it's a 10,000 gallon tank and that they recommended it get pumped and a few roots removed. We told the sellers we wanted this taken care of before closing and they agreed to taking care of it in addition to the other repairs we requested. When we first moved in I was under the impression the tank and drain died was in the front yard. There is an S painted in the street in front of each house in our development, we assumed the tank was located in line with this S. There is an in ground water meter in our front yard in line with the S on the street and then a foot further from that is some other type of rectangular cover but it isn't marked. At first I assumed this must have been the septic tank but I now realize this must be something else. I ended up finding a permit in the closing paperwork of a drawing that looks like it's for the building plans for the house with the location of the detox tank and drainfied in the backyard. There's also a "repair area" in the front yard. So in the picture I've attached is the septic tank the small box near the southeast corner of the house and then the drain field is the 3 long black lines? If I understand this correctly the repair area is a location that needs to be kept clear (can't be paved or built on) in the event that the drain field has to be relocated, is that correct? I've searched all over the area in the backyard and can't find anywhere that looks like where the tank is buried. Our backyard has lots of bare spots and not thick grass and isn't very level as it is so it's tough to look for other clues. The tank was supposedly inspected and cleaned this past August, so shouldn't it be much more noticeable that an area would have been dug up? The house was vacant when we bought t so I doubt grass would have been planted to cover it up and as bare as our yard is I didn't see a bare area big enough to uncover the manhole. Am I at least looking in the right area? The house is 10 years old if that makes any difference.
