DIY Tiny Home Septic System 

Check out my new 12x24 Shed Tiny House Build here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QDXtx4uxBUo.html ❤✌️

I've constructed several commercial buildings as well as 3 septic systems, all within code

Neighbor in W. Montana had ond of these for his trailer home. Gas pipe out of buried barrel produced fair bit of burnable gas too. One barrel for 1 man and occasional guests worked fine., just dont flush any tp!

Should of buried the pipes and tanks Also always add leach line and gravel at least 20-30 ft away for oder control.

Very Nice and clean looking set-up. Although, I think maybe I would have extended that drain field (end drain pipe) a good 10ft at least. Also, isn't a vent pipe needed, else you're gonna start smelling stagnant black water and/or have a build-up of natural gasses.

Seemed like a decent plan. You probably should have had A bottom less System that way the Barrels don't get filled as quickly....(ole school method Bottomless tank) But yes still have drain feels

I heard you should put gravel in the bottom of the barrels so it helps break things down, and no toilet paper 🧻 what's your thoughts on putting gravel in the barrels

Im here for the ignorant comments. So much fun! Look up septic ATU. You can process larger amounts in smaller containers quicker and better net results. 😊

Does a system like this have a riser allowing the possibility of pumping or maintenance should it need it?

Thats a very optimistic way to deal with raw sewage.

I think you are going to need some field lines with preparated pvc pipes going away from the last blue drum. I would have T-off a couple of lines with added ditches to add field line of washed pea gravel of at least 12-18 inches thick and at least 18” wide. The ditches if it was only a single one would be needed to be 50 feet long or two dual ditches at least 25 feet long. The more the T-s the shorter the field line ditch. Also before you cover up your perpetrated field pipes you could cover the top of your pipes with roofing felt paper to help keep the preparated holes in your pipes dirt cleared. I didn’t see where you filled up those blue drums with added water to keep them from floating out of their holes when it rains. You and your crews have done an excellent job right up to this point. Why not finish it correctly with added field lines?

Where is your vent tube?

Need a pouring rainy day house tour

How is everything holding up so far?

Enjoy your new swamp pit.

Do you flush tp ?

How are you going to pump them out? Will fill up in no time. Normally septic systems are 1K like mine and they have to be pumped out every few years.

Where is yur leak field at?

that mrcool install looks atrocious. Whats worse is the DIY electrical you did, used plumbing fittings and pipe instead of conduit. can only imagine what the wiring looks like

Not even close to code compliance, and then you put it on RU-vid.

As a former inspector, I have a few problems with your system.. even with one or two people it's going to fill up fast. Septic pumpers. In most states are required to notify Planning and zoning when they find illegal systems. If you pump, what are you going to do with it. Most states are under the Uniform building code. Real estate companies won't sell property with illegal systems and insurance companies won't deal with you. Get legal, do it right.

So you literally didn't show ANYTHING of how to do it! 😡

Man you are smoking some good shit! LOL
