This video gave me more advice than the couple of other septic field videos I've viewed so far. And it's given me the RIGHT questions to ask the local 'Regional Building Department'.😍 The best answers come from the best questions! 😁😁 Thanks TAA!
Have a hard time believing the waste water ever makes it to the end of the tunnels. Id say the first half gets totally saturated over the years while the last half stays relatively unused. Be nice to put a camera down the inspection hole after a few years and see if thats the case.
So you saying dig everything 36 inchs wide and all chambers are laid level. How deep do you dig the trench. Is the pipe out of the house level as well?
why wouldn't he just put all the rows right next to each other? I've seen this done in other videos and it passed whatever inspection. These plastic chamber systems don't make sense to me. Aren't they just open on the bottom? Who's to say you don't have one spot that just soaks up water a lot better than other spots and all the influent soaks in there? PVC with rocks makes a lot more sense in my mind.
Hard to beat the gravel lines! I've got some I installed 28 years ago still working great. I've installed alot of 10" graveless lines but really don't like it as good as gravel. I've installed some of the easy flow lines.
Is there supposed to be a pipe inside the entire chamber? I saw one video of a septic guy that did that but my septic guy did not put a pipe inside the chamber, only pipe connecting the chamber. It is level.
With 24 inch wide tunnel system and the top being 18 inches from the surface you can drive over the top of them (dry dirt) with 16,000 lbs per axel. They are tougher than they look.
