Need some Plumbing advice
 

We have a aerobic septic system, and not draining well. I have narrowed the problems down to the water is not draining into the ditch. The previous home owners managed to place a magnolia tree right over the effluent pipe. Also sent a water hose down the pipe and stopped in the vicinity of the tree. I think root are the problem and thinking to fire up the Stihl MS 440 pro and take care of things.

Any thoughts, much appreicated, before I call a plumber

Did you make sure the effluent pump is working and aerator is actually pumping air

X 2 ...m our pump went out in hackberry
