I am residing at Aurangabad (M.S.). We are four families living together including my parents and we three brothers. There are total 12 members out of which 4 are kids and rest are adults. Since we don't have drainge system, we have to use soak pit. Which is almost 4x5 ft.

- The first soak pit was prepared and it worked for almost 5 years. Thereafter it started choking.

- In the month of July 08 bricks were removed, water drained out and again bricks filled.

- In Aug 08 it again started chocking. So we drained out septic tank by scavenger, removed old bricks from soak pit and filled in new bricks in the same soak pit.

- Now on 22-23 Sept 08 it again started choking.

- Now the plumber is saying that rain water had dripped in septic tank through soak pit.

Please provide advise on appropriate remedies.
