We had a slow drainage problem as well, one year after we purchased the house. I dug up the tank and come to find out the previous owner had been dumping grease down the drain and there was literally a 8" thick cake floating in top of the tank. As the tank filled up this grease cake floated up and plugged off the incoming line. Had the guys come out with the truck and they used metal spuds to break it up and suck up the mess.

They recommended getting it pumped every 2-3 years, 'course they could have been drumming up business too. Either way I was happy with the job they did, for under $300 as well.
