$200 Septic Drain Field Repair for Beginners 

Same!

Me too.

I though it was an embedded commercial for the Church of Latter Day Saints (Mormons) until I figured it was just him pumping for Jesus. Same difference I suppose, all looking for cash carrying sinners to fill the seats.

@@rickdees251 No Rick you are wrong. He is trying to keep people from going to Hell not looking for money and you had better heed his advice because you will stand before God and if you did not trust in Jesus as your savior then I would not trade places with you for Bill Gates money.

@@rickdees251 that is an interesting strategy: go for the money by reaching out to people who can’t afford to pay for septic repairs. This guy knew that he was going to receive a lot of negative responses to his presentation of the Gospel, and yet he cares enough about the people who would be saying bad things about him, to make an appeal for their soul. I pray that someday God will remove your heart of stone and bless you with a heart of flesh (Ezekiel 36:26).

How has this worked for you?

Thanks for the nice comment. Understand we all have done things in our past that we are not real proud of for the bible says, "for all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God". Jesus knew that neither you or I could live a life good enough to earn our right standing with God so that is why he laid down his life on the cross taking the punishment for your sin and mine. Salvation is a free gift there for the taking. I will be praying for you. I would encourage you to pray, "God if you are real and out there show yourself to me in a practical way." He will answer that prayer!!!

Praying for you and everyone in the same place you are. I ask that you not think so much about "Burning for eternity" but instead think of how much better it is to live as God's obedient child. He provides us with all we need and He guides our efforts and blesses us when we seek His will. I believed my whole life but only lived as His obedient child for the last 10 years. And I am actually still working on the obedient part. I will be 60 years old in August so you see that some of us take a long time. He understands and He judges righteously. I hope this comment gives you good thoughts about the matter.

Great, glad it helped. Interestingly all the septic systems I spoke about in the video are ones I have been responsible for for the last 20 +/- years so my suggestion aren't just things I have done and walked away from but rather systems that if there was a problem over the last 20 years I would have gotten a phone call.

Dude... barf.

Thanks, that is so cool someone so far away got the video. Thanks for commenting.

God has nothing to do with septic systems.😅

@@raybin6873 Maybe so, but God can bless me with people or money to get the job done

@@raybin6873 God has control over all....not just parts

Thanks for the comment and encouragement.

How has this worked for you?

I just bought in Florida & found out the hard way too. God bless you- I pray we can figure this out QUICK!

Hi thanks for the comment. Yes we are all born into sin yet once we are born again (saved through Jesus) the Holy Spirit enters into you and He will always lead you away from sin. You can't do it on your own without the Holy Spirit. Romans Chapter 8

Thanks for the comment.

Nope, more like....this is why people dont bother going to church...it always is a sales pitch, "give"... not learning..😣😣😣😣

I agree as long as there is a hatch to access it.

@@creativerepairing2960 The drain field couldn't handle the load of 6 people. 4 were kids who loved to take long showers... We were in a new area close to a bog. Drainage was rather suspect. Plus, we had a 'food disposal', which is against code for a septic tank. The convenience didn't stop us from using it though... Anyway, the field clogged after 3 years of use, not exactly sure why, but the long showers & laundry use must have been factors. I had tried to introduce 'aeration' to the tank, as I had learned that aerobic bacteria can even consume the 'BIOMAT' that has been formed in a drain field. Turns out that since my tank was a 'single chamber', the aeration simply put into suspension ALL the sludge & grease scum, and this clogged the outlet drain filter. So, the tank was overflowing AGAIN because effluent couldn't even get to the drain field.... Grrrrr.... Yeah, i learned that to use 'aeration', you really need at least TWO chambers, preferably three. The first to catch it all, with sludge going to the bottom, and scum on the top. The second to have the 'aerator' introduce oxygen into the effluent to heal the drain field. And the third chamber to settle down and relax any suspension of scum/sludge that may have gotten through to the second chamber. This final chamber should only have calm, aerated/oxygenated effluent to introduce to the drain field. It would make sense to have access panels to each inlet/outlet and to have filters on each outlet for safety. Gosh, this is a long post for someone who has only worked on one septic tank. Take it for what it's worth. 😁

You could put an aerator on a timer for a few hours when your asleep to allow it to settle or septic genie is its own chamber you drop in

@@gauravvij67 I really like your 'timer' solution. That could 'aerate' the effluent sufficiently and allow the scum/sludge to float/fall out of suspension and allow the clear effluent to flow out to the leach field without clogging the outlet filter. I just watched the video on the Septic Genie. I dunno, seems to me like it would suspend scum/sludge too much and clog the outlet filter on a single chamber tank.

glad you drainfield is ok, where did you get the 100ft camera? Thanks

I put it on the bottom also.

So nice of you

Like Soak put, I like it

Did you do it? I will be doing mine tomorrow.

@@kelvinfeliciano Still going strong a year later.Every now and then I look at the Tee to see the health of the drain field .Im happy with the results.

@@johnrobert2074 I did mine... 40 feet 8 tons of #4 rca added a baffle to the septic with it affluent filter. Added a T for cleanup etc.

I don't disagree with what you said. I have also used the environmental domes / infiltrators but found they didn't last as long as the gravel. I used to think the micro solids would stick to the sides of the gravel thus giving more capacity to the gravel vs dome since the surface of the edges of the drain field would have less build up over time. A couple years ago I dug up an old dome system and found the first dome in the row was blocked by micro solids thus plugging up the system yet the rear domes were still clear. The reason this doesn't happen with gravel is because of the long black corrugated pipe with holes in it which distributes the micro solids over the entire drain field thus giving it a longer life. After realizing this we reinstalled the same domes back in and set them on top of a row of 8 inch cinder block which effectively tripled the amount of capacity the domes have before the micro solids build up above the "side slits" thus plugging the system. Additionally I am considering adding a second mini tank with a filter thus eliminating the micro solids from reaching the drain field all together.
