There isn't enough room for a presby system or new leach field, luckily there is a ditch nearby so we'll need a tank that pumps out 97% clean straight to the ditch. There is no proof the extra saturation of the soil is causing the vibrations, though I'd be amazed it wasn't as this is the side of...

So, it turns out our septic tank in front of the garage is cracked and leaking effluent into the ground. Fortunately our insurance should cover the repair - needs a whole new system installed with the likelihood that the pine tree nearest the garage will probably have to come down to make way...

Last summer was very dry and I thought the trees had drained the land of moisture which caused the vibrations. This summer has been very wet, the soil is well saturated now. Also, one of the drain pipes at the front which leads to a soak away was completely blocked up and all the rain was going...

The trees have lost/cut off many lower branches, the lowest ones are probably level with the top of most larger vehicles, so whether they act as a vibration dampener is debatable. I can feel the ground vibrate underfoot in the back garden, some 25 metres away.

Thanks for all your replies. There's been major changes inside or outside the house, expect for a couple of months ago when roadworks resulted in some 'patch work' to the tarmac though only minor and the problem was here before. A couple of trees were felled to the left by my neighbours though...

We had a structural engineer take a visual look around and could find nothing wrong, I guess it needs something more in-depth. No ideas about sinkholes, did think of that but how can you tell?!
